Don't use a vmax for deer they blow up if ya dont hit the lungs or heart,Ive had great sucess w/a 69gr HPBT.DRT with neck shots.If your twist wont stabalize a heaver bullet try hornady 55gr SP, RED BOX they are a great bullet for deer. The max effective range for deer w/a .223 should be no more than 200 yds unless you are into minimal blood for tracking.Ive taken deer with a .223 here in Pa. because most I know say it's to small....I beg to differ n proved it. I now use a.243 or a 22-250.
