Splody Factor V Max verses Blitzking

[urbanrifleman]

Specifically 50 grain on pdogs.

Which explodes more?

HARD

PICS!
I am just getting to where i can try all those bullets out myself.
Thanks for your awsome effort and results!

Unless you are measuring actual distance that the target was launched at impact, the diameter of the mist pray, and target hang time, I'm not sure you can actually tell. I have had slightly smaller groups with the 55gr BlitzKing than I have with the 60gr. V-max bullets. Pick one and shoot it.

Agreed! I shoot mostly Blitzkings because they shoot better in my rifles. I’ve got a couple thousand 50 VMax, so I need to find something that will shoot them....lol

Hey URB... ls it time for some Ballistic Gelatin??

That's no fun.

This is a prerrie dog shot with a 223. Bullet was a 50gr nosler varmint. Orange tip. Ive shot many and it explodes on them at most ranges

A 50gr VMAX would have turned that rat into a RED MIST

 

[Ackman]

Whichever shoots the best in each gun. Then if a couple are about the same, whichever is faster if the price is comparable. A real good 50gr bullet is the old Sierra Blitz. We shot many thousands of those things.

I would think you need a consistent target to really know the truth. Every pd is slightly different whether it's position, weight/size, etc, and where the critter was hit. Way too many variables to know scientifically, it will be one of those "debatable" topics for years to come. But they sure are fun to give flying lessons to.

I would give the edge to the Sierras.
With that being said - use the ones that your rifle likes best, the difference probably won’t be much.

I've looked at allot of threads on this & one thing I know is. The rat only explodes when you hit it so with that said most guys report better accuracy with the Blitzking.

 

[urbanrifleman]

If you look at the bullet cutaways the BK and Vmax are essentially identical.

I've never used the Blitzkings, but the 50 Vmax is a nasty little pill for ground squirrels in Oregon. The squirrels are small compared to the prairie dogs I've seen (1/3-1/2 the size), so I guess that the bullet would have more distance available to do its work while passing through the animal.

To give you an idea, out of a 12 twist 223 Rem @3050, impact at 150 yards usually blows the animal in half leaving various internal organs scattered up to 25 feet from the rest of the carcass. I have never seen one not expand violently in an animal. I haven't shot animals past 300 with this bullet, as the ranch I hunted didn't have safe backstops for any shots longer than that.

Hope this helps.

 

[urbanrifleman]

Dude. Hahahaha

That helps

 

[urbanrifleman]

Has anyone tried the 50 grain Blitz?

Vmax for good splat factor here.

I think most of us have found that of all the big 3 ballistic tip bullets, Nos - Vmax - Blitz, its speed and spin rate that makes them go poof. IF you want to make those varmints dance in the air like a pin wheel, shoot them out of something 2 full twist rates faster than what people consider normal. Example. If you're shooting a 14 twist 22-250 go down to a 12 or even a 9 and watch them fly

Splat factor will change depending if it is a center hit or not. So will the elavation.
