Is there any difference in performance between the 55 gr Vmax with or without cannelure? Any reason to choose one over the other? W/C is $1.40 less.
If I have a Hornady 55gr FMJBT load that I like now is that a good starting place to try Vmax? Or do I need to start at the bottom and work up to get best results?
My plinking load is mixed HS, 55 gr FMJBT, CCI 450, 24.2 gr H335, 2.220 OAL, Lee FCD @ cannelure. Groups are 2.5" ish at 100 yds from a bench with a sandbag out of a 16" or 20" AR. What would be a reasonable expectation for group size if I substituted the 55 gr Vmax and left everything else the same?
With the difference in shape will the seating die set for FMJBT seat a Vmax at the same depth (give me same OAL) or will it need an adjustment? Should I stick to the same 2.220 or should the Vmax be shorter/longer?
