bunny bagger Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) I recently changed my usual home load of 40grn v-max to 40grn Blitzkings, the damage the Blitzkings do compared to the v-max is amazing,In two trips ive had 4 Foxes from 50yds to 150yds, And a few rabbits which wouldnt be nice to put photos of on here This one ran 30yds before it realised it was dead This one didnt look nice from the other side This one thought it would be safe if it lay down in a tractor rut And this demonstrates the explosiveness of a Blitzking, remember this is from a 222 not a 243 Edited October 5, 2009 by bunny bagger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been using v-max both 40 and 50grn for two years and have never had the expansion that you get with the Blitzings Tried V max and they don't expand like the blitzking Blitzking all the way , try them you maybe surprised A very true statement, i was shocked, i rated v-max but Blitzkings beat them on both frangability and accuracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamie g Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 nice but do you not think the first one would of just droped on the spot with a 40grain v-max in the same place?.just m.p.o. sometimes it just adrenlin that keeps telling there brain to run. even tho the insides are hanging out of them. the one i shot last night dropped on the spot the vixen was sat and i shot her just behind the front shoulder. it exited out the otherside and took her leg off at same time ! that was 50 grain nostler. i have seen more damage with 50 grain sako softpoints in mine but im going to try blizkings now to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I've heard good things about Sierra blitzkings and Reloader 7 in .22 CF I might be tempted to give it a go with the 223! Is RL7 ball or stick ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPARKIE Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 i never get any damage like that with the .223 in currectly using hornady 50g vmax factory ammo. all foxs drop on the spot never had one run or get blown to pieces i sometimes struggle to find entry wound. but when i pick them up they squealch. is it because you reload your making hot loads.
