As to the Vmax...
Way back when, in '05-'06, I shot exclusively Hornady Vmax in both my .223 & .243.
When I did my part w/shot placement (heart/lungs), they did their job.
I had a few coyotes that would run or stagger off a short distance, but never more than 100 yards.
Overall, I took 108 coyotes that Fall/Winter, but couldn't tell you any kind of percentage of how many were DRT.
The following year, I found a great deal on 55gr .223 remanufactured Black Hills "soft points", & never have bought any more Vmax.
But only because I bought so many Black Hills, that I didn't need to buy more ammo. (I still have nearly 200 of those rounds left.)
I never bought any more for the .243, because I sold the gun that year.
Back in July, I bought 100 rounds of American Eagle .223 50gr "varmint tip" ammo.
Can't wait to see how they perform.
I found a bunch of the cheap AE varmint tips as well. Pretty accurate of cheap stuff. They're great for a little "red mist" on gophers, but the only time I've shot em at yote was more of an artillery strike than a rifle shot, resulting in a dirt covered yote moving at high speed over the ridge...
