Hornady Vmax gel test(7.62x39mm)


Recommended Posts

I recently bought some HSM 762x39 loaded with the 123gr vmax,and those puppies come unglued! I shot a 5 gallon plastic bucket filled with water and it did not exit. The lead core stayed together pretty good,and made a nice dent in the back,but the jacket fragmented pretty bad. I would not want to be a surgeon trying to dig all that out of you. Lots of little copper frags,and a bunch of lead particles. It was like panning for gold. I'll try and shoot a video this week.

I was thinking they might be good for pigs until I did that test,but I don't think you would get enough penetration.

 

Humans aren't as tough as pigs though. :ded:

I stick to the hollow points or fmjs for the pigs. They are damn tough.

 

I do plan to try the vmax out this year on a deer if I get a chance.

+1

 

For me its V-max for Humans/Deer

GT for Hogs/Zombies
