I've used the 55 gr v-maxs in .223 on deer (sika) and goats with good results but that was a few years ago and certainly not at 22-250 speeds but I am using 50 gr v-maxs in my .222 for little furry bunnies and wallabies.

Hopefully everything pans out and its just a lemon or two you've shot as I know it's a pain in the ass to switch over to another projectile you've grown fond of!

Mickyduck has been using Hornady "z-max" projectiles so maybe their worth a thought should worse come to worse as I believe they have a thinner copper wall for faster expansion but I stand to be corrected?

I use those Z Max’s in my 22-250 and their really good and cheap but unfortunately I think they’ve been discontinued. Pretty much identical to vmax but $130 for 500 50grainers
