being as I do head shots all the time I find the 40gr bt V-Max to be the ideal bullets... unless I pull a shot way off center it's very seldom that I have a shot leave the head... a lot of bleeding ears and bulging eyes but even if there is a pass through, no damage to the usable/saleable parts of the pelts...
even with ground griz if there is a blow up on a shoulder there is still enough shock to drop'em... what's great about them with a body shot, is the hydrostatic shock disjoints them like you're picking up a bag of oatmeal... the performance of these bullets remind me of the 50gr SX bullets... I need to push them up to 35-3600fps to see if they stay together... if they do this will bring a light fast bullet to a whole new plateau of performance... I can only imagine what the 22-250 would do with these at those speeds... prairie dogs, ground squirrels, red squirrels and such wouldn't be but a fine red mist, and the show that a crow would put on with the feathers all up in the air... oh my, I gotta get my mess set up and start loading again...
