[QUOTE="Gord0, post: 1348502, member: 99696"] Yeah the 53gr vmax us a pretty slick little pill if your rifle likes it. They have a lot longer ogive than say a standard 55gr. You also need to watch out for the twist rate required for them as they're a pretty long bullet for their weight. They're .836" long vs a Hornady 55gr soft point coming in at .715". A 12 twist at 0 altitude and 59° running 3200fps won't stabilize them. A 9 twist or faster is really what's needed. [/QUOTE]
