I have had great results with heavier projectiles in my Axis. 69 HPBT on top of 24.5 Varget has done very well. In the 50-55 gr range I prefer H335. A few years back I found Black Hills gold ammo with a 50 gr V-max preformed well enough for hunting in my Axis it was hard to justify the time and expense of reloading 50 gr.
