Ive used some of the ZMax but never hit any game with them. I'm hanging to try some of the 58gr ZMax on some critters.

Good choice!

We run the 55grn Vmax (same pill, different colour tip I think) in our.223 with awesome, explosive results on rabbits, hares, foxes, goats and skip (under permit of course).

You'll love them!

I have the 50gn model and I like them. Not as good as the Nosler BT in my rifle but accurate enough and value for money. I might be able to get them shooting better but I have not had time to shoot for months now.
