[QUOTE="Jinx-), post: 564670, member: 19791"] Does anyone know what happens to V-Max bullets when they are at subsonic speed and how good are they for coons and chucks? I tested few subsonic loads from 6BR and 87gr V-Max, 1200 fps@ muzzle, I set gallon jar at 100 yards and got it with first shot. Now when I shoot them with V-Max 3050 fps@ muzzle them jars explode and small fragments of lead and copper can be found, but with V-Max going subsonic, there were just penetration and I recovered bullet not deep in the ground with no signs of expansion. I think 87 V-Max has thick jacket which design to save pelts and not expend on impact. Maybe I wrong, but I think it might be suited to shoot deer with it.
