95 gr V-Max and big hog

[Double Naught Spy]

I haven't had good luck with V-Max 95s on larger hogs. If they work for you, that is great.

You said that rather than sighting in with the SST, you are just going to stick with V-Max. I understand hesitance. I use a lot of different bullets and loads and hate rezeroing. However, I have found that a LOT of the ammo I shoot tends to keep the same 100 yard zero, or be close enough to not bother adjusting the sights.

This is far from universal. Every now and then I will find a bullet and load that may be 3-4" off. Some are more like 1-2" off. Some are just fine. For example, I don't have any trouble going from Federal Speer TNT 90 gr. to Factory Hornady SST 123 gr. (or Druid Hill Armory loaded 123 gr. SST) on my guns.

I would think that for bullets of different weights and vastly different velocities, this would not work, but it seems to work just fine. I would also think that bullets of the same weight and similar velocities would necessarily work better, and while sounding logical, does not always reflect reality.
