Have you used or in the know on the “‘Fiocchi .223 V-Max Poly Tip bullet?'” Is it a better round than then the PMC FMJBT bullet?
If you have used Fiocchi ammunition, what was your results, good or bad?
$20 bucks sounds to good to be true for 50 rounds of Varmint ammo!

V-Max bullets are a blast on ground hogs. We shot about 700 marmots with 40gn V-Max in .22-250 – the destruction is incredible. In one case I shot one right in the head and all there was left was a body with no head, like the head had been sliced off and the front teeth sitting on a rock like the little bugger took them out before he went to sleep…. That and blood and brains splattered all around.
Those should work perfectly then!!! 😉
Probably better than the PMC… 😯
Will be used in my Remington 700 SPS Varmint .223 1in14 slow twist. I have been using the PMC 55gr fmjbt, because they are available close to home and very cheap.
The PMC work great on ground hogs, but I think the poly tips will do a better job.
My laptop hd crapped out and my tower has no either net card so I’m in a pickle for getting on net for a few days.
Sam 😆
What kind of rifle are you shooting it out of?
That is a good round for one in 14 to one in 10 twist rates. If you have a one in 8 (AR or M variant) those rounds are going to explode on impact because they are rotating so fast. 😯 It’s going to wear your barrel slightly faster as well.
Bolt action good, semi auto bad… 😆
The PMC round is an in-between round, a 65-69 grain ball is the max for a one in 12 and does well in one in 8 and one in 7 twist rate barrels.
I am doing well with a one in 12 barrel with a 65 grain Sierra boat tail ball moving around 2800fps (sub 1/2″ at 100 yards with a 5-10mph wind) handloads.
I tried Fiocche brand in my pistols and it was shootin great.
I dont know about the Fiocchi brand, but my .22-250 absolutely loves 40gr moly coated V-Max boattail bullets.
I’ve used Fiocchi’s target/plinking 45acp and their sst tip .308. I thought that both were good values in the class, and both shot well in my guns.
I have tried it in other calibers and its some good stuff IMO
the pmc is dirty ammo fouls up the barrel to much for my liking
