They Vmax87's are the business... nice and fast too ... 3300 ish from memory although I may stand corrected on that.

The Targex 95's are the ultimate though. Mine run at 2960 over a very full case of 2225 10thou off the lands ... are shittingly accurate ... and great killers

70gr Speer TNT, work up a charge with ADI-2208. I had mine shooting just under 2inch groups at 300m using this combo that's around .6MOA.
Add a suppressor and barrel jump is greatly reduced and recoil is almost like a .223.
Also the Speer TNT is dirt cheap.

Good to hear about the 95gr targex. I'm very keen to try some, but I'll probably wait to shoot all my 87gr bthps before moving on.
