VaiFanatic90 360 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Anyone tried this stuff yet? It's pretty damn expensive, but I was curious to see if anybody has used these yet. http://www.hornady.com/store/7.62X39-123-gr-V-MAX/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jcmacconnell 25 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I have used the federal power shok and have gotten 1-1.5 MOA at 100 yards in my sgl 21. Pretty easy to get a hold of and shoots well. I have not shot the hornady though Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I head down to FL in the next few weeks, I may pick up a box to try it out then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's pretty damn expensive, but I was curious to see if anybody has used these yet. http://www.hornady.com/store/7.62X39-123-gr-V-MAX/ The 7.62x39 hornady v-max bullet is absolutely great. It feeds as well as any FMJ but will expand and fragment much better than most any thing available for this caliber. It makes all the hype I hear over .223 or 5.45 being more lethal a joke when you actually compare expanding bullet to expanding bullet side by side. I made a video to compare water reaction of a few types and the Vmax is shot number 3. Shot two is with the famous 8m3 (no longer available in the military classic line from what I read) bullet and it comes close Edited October 2, 2010 by my762buzz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great vid, looks like the Vmax cause a significant increase in the spread of water. Could just be me, haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my762buzz 141 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Wow! Great vid, looks like the Vmax cause a significant increase in the spread of water. Could just be me, haha. Yes. Much more instant mist than shot 2 with military classic 8m3. Box o truth has a page with a vmax passing through 12 wall boards and then impacting a water container and exploding.The remaining bullet core then wouldn't pass through a wood board and just bounced off. That would make it very selective passing that many barriers and only violently reacting with water. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
