Hornady V-Max .224 53 gr boat tail bullets ...

[John E Davies]

... has anybody used them yet in a bolt action rifle? It's the same bullet that Hornady loads into its Superperformance Varmint ammo.

I am going to order a couple of boxes to try in my CZ 527 Varmint (1 in 9 twist).

Has anyone seen any reloading data? Or should I just split the difference between the 50 and 55 gr V-Max bullets data? Any links to 53 grain reloading data would be most welcome!

Thanks.

158 views and no comments. Hmmm. Just to get this topic back on the front page .... these boolits are now in stock at MidwayUSA - for a day or two, maybe! - and you can order some if you hurry: click the link above.

These are really hard to find, so if you have any interest at all, I suggest you order a box. I haven't seen them on the shelf in any gun store, including Cabelas and Wholesale Sports. I have two boxes coming from Midway.

From what I have read, I should be able to easily work up a 1/2 MOA or better load for my CZ 527 Varmint.

I tried to get some for my 22-250 but supply is a real big issue over here the store said they had some so I drove into the city only to find no they didn't. If you want some load data try ammoguide.I won't be developing a load for it till supply is more consistant. I know where you are coming from on paper it looks fantastic

Ive had excellent luck with the 55 and 60 grain version and id about bet the 53 will shoot too.
