I like it LOW

A lot of folks really like the 60 VMAX or 60 NBT out of the AR, and it seems to work good. My CZ has the 12 twist though, so that won't work for me. It really likes that cheap 50 Dogtown at about 3150 fps, and that load has been putting the hurt on them. But I tried some 40 V-Max I had on the shelf and it is putting them into really nice little groups at about 3500 fps. I am thinking that might be some potent medicine as long as they don't splash. I am going to have to do some live testing.
 
All I run are the armalite mounts. They just plain work and don't break the bank. But if I had the scratch I'd buy LaRue.

The 40 grn V-Max I have been using splashes... But I think it is pretty much common for all V-Maxs...

I am getting the vx-3 L for my bolt action. I don't care if it is ugly, I am also getting an XLR chassis for it... The smith has that rifle now threading the barrel.

It has been hauled around, killed hogs, coyote, deer and I don't know what all. Always stays on the money.

These are reassuring replies...

Yellowhammer,

You are the one who suggested I try the Black Hills 60 grn. V-Max... I am liking it so far...

Yeah, I am worried it will splash, it has been leaving smoky bullet holes on the target. Really I don't know why I am messing with my load anyways, that 50 dogtown has been really knocking them flat.
