Hi Blaine,

Been using the 222 with 50 to 55 gr benchrest bullets left over from my bench shooting days.

Discovered the 40 gr VMax shots pretty well and a bit faster than the above.

Have yet to shoot a yote or anything else with it. Can I expect anything adverse from that little bullet.

Buddy shoots a Hornet w/35 gr bullets and got ay yote through the south end @ about 60 yds. Instant kill was impressed, he was surprised.
