[QUOTE="Guest, post: 36602"] Ring I use an Imp version of the .222Rem which is very similar to the 223. I used 40VMax for about 1000rds on rabbits and have now switched to the 55VMax. The 40gr @ 3950 cut them to pieces aout to about 180yds and then terminal performance washed off noticeably as they shed velocity very quickly due to the low BC and wind is a major factor. I run the 55gr at 3450 fps and they are much beter in the wind and I feel confident with them for about another 100yds or so over the 40gr. They hit hard with an audible "Smack" on small targets such as crows out to at least 250yds. I think this weight is about the max we can push in this size cartridge on varmints. APB [/QUOTE]
