I have found my rem sps likes flat based using 2209. The 95 hdy sst go well and the sierra 85sp as well, the sierra sp is to explosive on goats or anything bigger. The hdy 87 hollow point boat tail are no where near as accurate. Trying to find an 87 grain flat based to use on deer. May have a look at the hdy 87 sp?

What about the Vmax 87 ?? Anyone used them on deer ?

My bet is they'd do the job ....

I think the 87 vmax are a varmint round, the Hdy 87 hollowpoint boattail and sierra 85 hpbt gameking are more for deer. These two rounds are both boattail and my rem prefers flatbased bullets. Hence why I want to try the Hdy 87 softpoint flatbased on deer.
