Basically the same as any other 55gr pill. Approx 2.5 minutes at 300m (with a 200m zero). And using a 55gr beyond 300m starts to get pretty tricky...

How fast did it drop? About 0.3 of a second with a brain shot on a fox. Probably have worse results if you gut shoot something. Is that what you are after?

None by me.
The chances of needing a running shot are too great in my opinion and yes I go bigger.
But if you place the shot properly then just about anything will drop.
So if the pig is standing broadside and not really going anywhere than why not?

I have NOT used the GMX
I believe them to be too hard for the thin skinned hunting I do.
I used 55gr V-max and 55gr Sierra game king.
I use the 55gr V-max for thin skinned prey(Most of my 223 hunting), but also keep several 55gr Sierra game king with me in case I come across a small/medium pig.
My son reduced the life expectancy of a pig on our last get away with the 55gr sierra game king. One shot kill, bang flop. I find they have more penetration than the V-max.
