BlitzKings vs VMax

204 Ruger.
Are the BlitzKings worth $20 per hundred more than the VMax
My wife knows me well.
The dog often reminds me of that

You'll have to try mate, every rifle is different, as is every load.

One thing I find when using both these two interchangeably, is that they both seem to perform exactly the same both on small game and accuracy when testing groups.
I use them both in a Sako 85 Varmint, a tiny ultralight Howa 223 sporter, and a Howa Varmint and across these 3, there seems to be no differences whatsoever.

So if one is more economical than another, try them first, why not.
I did find Sierra bullets statistically easier to find a more accurate result though, I don't know how they get such incredible consistency across their range.

We had to sort out some issues in one Elk paddock in prep for the upcoming Super-El Nino which has started.
My wife wanted to do the shooting and used her 223 with the ADI factory 55gn Blitzking ammo.
You can see the results. Very good performing ammo.

Yes, I know, no fancy ferals here or exotic deer. Just stuff that has to be done. Oh, and I have a current DMP permit from DERM.

Our local farm supplies joint has had this stuff forever, in these 50 cartridge cards. Everytime I but some cattle health stuff I pick up a few cards. Not worth reloading whilst I can get this deal, and I have leftover quality shells to handload my favourite 60gn VMax load.
