Got the puppy out

You might also try the Hornady 40 gr. VMax , and the equivalent 40 gr. Sierra in your .222. Regards

I do have a bx of the 40 grn VMax .224 and 1 1/2 bxs 35 grn in the cabinet . Never tried them.

I got them in an all or nothing thing on the net when I got also 10 boxes of Sierra .223 Hornet bullets and the VMax was part of the buy. The Sierras were what I've been shooting and when a super deal on .223 bullets came up from a guy dumping his Hornet stuff, I grabbed them.

Old habits, but when I get a good load worked up for a gun, that's what I stick to. Usually get a bunch of bullets of one kind if it's working well.
