Thread: Hornady Vmax 224 55gr problem

G'day all i'm just wondering if any of you blokes with 22-250 shoot Vmax 55gr lately the reason I ask is I've just gone to a new batch and instead of them exploding inside the feral i'm getting complete pass through now I've used these for yonks and never had a pass through any feral even down to about a 3kg animal until this last new batch out of the 6 ferals I've shot in the last 2 weeks 5 have been complete pass throughs this is unusual and not what I want them to do because the animal runs for a short distance and my new knees don't allow me to follow but so far all animals have been found dead but still why are these new projectiles doing this they are supposed to be the same ( They are Vmax after all ) I have heard on the grape vine that Hornady have thickened the shell of the projectile but no proof of that so just wondering if any of you blokes have any info on them Cheers ( Note I've tried to contact Hornady but so far can't raise any0ne )
