    Sorry to change the thread
    I will reply only because I was tagged in.
    I haven't used the 87grvmax but I would not recommend it as a deer bullet, no doubt it would be possible to kill a deer with one but the vmax is specifically designed to not penetrate much and dump its energy in a few inches for emphatic kills on varmint size animals.

    The 95gr Targex on the other hand works very well on even large deer, it is a bit soft at closer ranges but not excessively so and performs well at longish ranges.
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    308Win One chambering to rule them all.
