[QUOTE="Seacowboy, post: 445930, member: 28770"] I have one of each, a DPMS upper in .204 that I have just started to break in. Really liking the Hornady 40 grain V-Max's right now. I have not had time to work up a load for it yet, but have been getting 3/4 moa with the factory ammo. I did pick up both the 32 and 40 grain V-Max bullets to play with once I begin load development at the end of the month. So far I have been very pleased with its performance on a handful of crows and one Gray Fox. If your after the pelt, don't use the V-Max. My 250 I like but may have made a bit of an uneducated buy on. It's a Remmie 700 VTR. Bought more on looks and cool factor with the triangluar barrel and muzzle break than anything else. The stock actually really sucks. The twist rate of 1:14 is throwing 55 grain Sierra Blitzkings excellent downrange. But I would like to have the option of using a heavier bullet if the wind kicks up and isn't an option with my barrel. Terminal performance on groundhogs, and foxes have been quite impressive also. Guess what I'm getting at in that bit is figure out what size and bullet you want to use or have a range, I am limited to the 50-55 grain range for the 250. I will also need to make some adjustments or buy a new stock for the VTR to avoid its flimsyness and a couple contact points along the barrel. Either round will perform great, just decide on your range and use. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
