40 grain VMax is my bullet of choice for my Savage 223s. I have 4 of them and they all shoot great. I have used a wide range of powder from H4198 to the new IMR 8208. The 8208 seems to be the ticket. I have shot thousands of these rounds, mostly at prairie dogs and paper. I have killed many pdogs well past 500 yards with a 40 grain VMax. I do push mine faster than most people do, I want that speed.Originally Posted by joed
400 yards is honestly a long way out there and it is easy to miss using any gun/round/bullet combination.
