I've had better luck with the 50gr. V-max. I had one rifle of 3 that would not shoot what I would even call a group at 100 yards with 55gr V-max. They were one the same sheet of paper, but thats about as close as they got. That same rifle shot 50gr V-max sub-moa on the same day with the same powder/load. I have since rebarreled that rifle but have never tried the 55's again because the 50's shoot so good. If memory serves I believe the 55 V-max is a flat bottom bullet and the 50gr. are a boat tail. I think this makes a difference also. The 50's are my choice, I've tried the 40gr as well and prefer the added weight of the 50's for coyote's. The 40's fly slightly faster, but 50's loaded at 3700fps shoot flat enough to hit a coyote out to 350 yards when sighted 1.5" high at 200 yards. I've got witnesses to a 450 yard hit on a coyote off of the hood of my pickup.
I prefer the 50gr V-max to any bullet I've tried.
