    Really interested to hear the V Max 60’s are stable in a 1:12. I tried some 50 gr Barnes Varmint Grenades which are 0.853” (0.020 shorter than the V Max) at 3,000 fps and got keyholes at 25m! The JBM Ballistics stability calculator gives the V Max 1.263 (apparently 1.3 is stable) so I guess it’s on the cusp - might give it a try…
