[QUOTE="halfmile, post: 719401, member: 20044"] I just got into the new Zombie bullets from Hornady. I think they are the same as the Vmax. Midsouth sells them for a darn good price, 58 bucks for 500. They shoot exactly the same. I think it was a market ploy in an already saturated zone. I use the 40 grain at higher velocities because I like explosive aerobatics. My Savage (9 twist) likes the 50's so I will be carrying 2 different loads on the next trip. Varget, 2230, and N133 are fine choices. My 10 and 12 twist guns love 4198, RX7, and 2200 for the 40's. Groups under a half inch are common. The Shilen barrel shoots in the 3's and the others less than a half. These are all at max or near max loading. I love the 223's to the point of neglecting my other guns. Practically all the loads are full case capacity, and brass is plentiful. Best choice: 40 grain Vmax, 24.5 of 2200, any primer. HM [/QUOTE]
