Actually I just started using Black Hills 60gr V-max... This cat was the first thing I shot with them. I have been hunting with that AR since April and I have killed 2 other cats with it, both with 75 grn BTHP. They were both pass troughs with little pelt damage. I have had very mixed results with it on coyotes. Since using it I have had a lot more spinners and run offs after hits… I get frustrated with it and fall back to my bolt gun from time to time. I hope these black hills 60 grn v-maxs do better… I fully understand that shot placement is key...
