I've tried more speed with 40 grain Vmax with about the same performance. Is there something more explosive than the Vmax? Thinking about the SPSX or Blitz, but would like recommendations based on experience where you compared to Vmax bullets.


I have shot many a whistle pig , and nothing comes un-done like the V-Max. for some reason the 60gr V-Max is the most explosive of the 22cal's. if you shoot it out of a 1-8" twist it will come apart on a blade of grass at 200yds.
The 50gr TNT also works quite well.
