    Pretty sure the 55 Z-max is identical to the 55 V-max apart from the colour of the tip. Pretty popular bullets for smaller/softer critters.

    I think the introduction of the 53gr V-max killed the 55 anyway

    Yeah, that's one thing I've noticed and "hate" with this forum is that you click on the "Latest Post", thinking that it is only a day or so old, then you find out that you're reading some post that's actually several months old, and yet there are posts younger than that well behind those older posts in the queue!
