To me the 40gr V-max is purely a varmint bullet GS and PD's, they are pretty fragile. The 40gr NBT is a whole different bullet and will stay together quite well, I usually find shrapnel and the bullet base against the hide on the far side of the coyote.

Jericho, My Model 70 is factory from the 1970's only changes is the barrel is threaded for a can and it has competition springs in the trigger, I have the original walnut stock and I fitted a youth length synthetic to it for me.
