[QUOTE="H-BAR, post: 43571, member: 1281"] I was pondering using vv540 but when everyone talks of cycling the action too hard or ripping of case rims, I have to pass. I usually shoot the 68gr bullets so I use BLC2 which works great. With gas guns you have to worry about powders that have a burn curve that puts out too much port pressure hence the case and gun damage from cycling too hard. I have shot the lighter bullets too and use them here in NY where I woodchuck hunt and have a lot of houses around. The VMAX bullets absolutely disintegrate after they hit anything. I think you will find that the AMAX stays together just a little more than the VMAX. They both work great on deer as long as you shoot head shots or behind the shoulder. A friend of mine and I have used the 223 for deer damage permits and have put down quite a few deer. In fact I can't think of any that went anywhere after being shot. I did have a friend that I had a bet with about shooting a black bear with my 223 but he never got the bears to show up. The only bear I got to see was next year during bow season and it was about 100yds away. The bear and bow thing inspires adrenaline for sure. I bet the spear thing would be even better though. Only kidding the bow is as primitive as I get!!! [/QUOTE]
