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.
