Superformance 53gr VMax 223
Has anyone given these a spin? Are they accurate, as fast as advertised? I have a 16" bbl and the added velocity may be a good a fit.

Seen them in action a few days ago on p/dogs....12 twist std 223 right out near 600 yds produced several one shot kills..I just ordered 5 boxes to test in my 223 AI heavy p/dog gun...BC is .290 I believe..my AI will push them out around 3600 fps in my 12 twist

Are you talking loaded ammo or bullet? I was specifically asking about the loaded ammo.

What powder can you use to get 3600 fps out of your .223 AI?


velocity is like a new car, always losing value.
BC is like diamonds, holding value forever.

Sorry...I'm referring to reloaded 53 V max's

My 26" Pac Nor 12 twist 3 groove is 'fast'

Benchmark is the powder of choice...

Does a vmax just explode? Would it be good for coyotes? What about a 50gr Vmax? 55gr Blitz King?
