Hornady Urban Tactical Ammo versus VMax?

[Zippy]

If Hornady stopped using the DPMS barrels as their test barrels, they would easily get 2650 FPS out of a 16" barrel.

Wow, that would imply about 2550 FPS out of my (hopefully soon to be) 12.5" with 1 in 12 twist. Running it through JBM that would imply almost 1900 FPS at 300 yards. That would be a nice combo! :mrgreen:

You will never see a SSA loaded with a HRdy bullet. Lets just say that would not being Hrdy's best interest as they see it. And yes its already been explored.

Hornady.

Darn it..... I was hoping since it was green and no cannular, and that they dont call it a VMAX they had a different manufacture.

Who else makes .277 caliber ballistic tipped bullets?

Crap, Is the V-max/tap round really that poor against windshields?
I need "one" perfect duty round. Switching Mags is not an option.
My Boss has threatened to hang me by my genitals if I use handloads and did I mention it needs to be available on State Contract?

No, the V-Max/TAP round is actually very good for a Varmint bullet. It just isn't as good as the Hornady 110 Gr. BTHP TAP bullet.

If you get a chance, download the following link and start on page 38 for the 6.8SPC info. The V-Max penetrates about 8.5" in the Winshield test.

If you can only go with one round then I would choose the SSA 115gr OTM or their Pro Hunter. I use the OTM. If you need Hornady because of State contracts then the 110gr OTM is better for an overall general purpose round because it is a little tougher for barriers.
