So if the flash hole is a little small can they still be reloaded?
Just be sure of your target and what is beyond and you don't have to worry about ricochets. IE - Don't shoot a hog that is standing in front of a large rock.
I like to shoot V-Max for yotes. It doesn't come out the other side making for a nicer hide.
Will the dirt ricochet this ammo though?
I know when buddies are shooting gophers with things like 30-06 or 7mm or other rounds that pass through a gopher without much fuss you can hear the wizz of a ricochet off the dirt/grass behind gophers.
Tried the Prvi on 3 coyotes last night. 50gr.
Hit the first ~150 meters out mid body on an angle towards its front leg, did not exit and it dropped in its tracks, this is the first hit on a yote at this angle, seems it would damn near get both lungs and the heart, so not sure if a vmax would have done the same damage.
second yote I hit about 100 meters out as it was facing me slightly high center chest, not sure if it exited, took a second shot that hit its shoulder area and it fell then, left a devastating wound, looked very much like a vmax.
third was close, probably 50 meters, almost too close for my scope. hit this one similar angle to the first, but this time it left an exit wound an it ran for about at long as it took me to cycle the bolt for another round and get it back in my sights when it just kind of stopped. Again very devastating entrance.
I'm excited to try these on a gopher or 20.
