CCI 22 mag V-max

[splitnock]

Has anyone shot these in a revolver? Also any idea where I can get them?

The only place I know of that has them in stock at the moment is Graf and Sons.

I don't know what revolver you are planning to shoot them in, but the Remiongton VMax bullets opend the groups up to about four inches from inch and a half at 25 yards in my Single Six.  That one shoots twice the group size with .22 Mag as it shoots with 22 LR that it likes, and it really grows with the jacketed bullets. ymmv.

I have a tracker 22mag, In which I may occasionally shoot them in, but my real reason was to shoot the in my marlin rifle for whistle pigs and other vermin thanks for the info. Headed to a gun show this weekend maybe I'll find some there

The Remmies cut groups in half in my son's 77-22.  It shot nearly as tiny groups with the V-max as my 17HMR did at 100 yards.  Consistent bullets and a trigger job and that one became a tack driver.  Imagine my surprise when they did the opposite in my Single Six.  I will have to look for some CC!s and give them a try.  I have been having trouble with Remington 22lr and am not interested ih having it happen with the mags.

Yesterday I ran a few CCI 30 grain V-max through my 6" AMT and my BRNO 611 rifle. I was surprised to find that from the AMT the velocities averaged about 100 fps slower than CCI 30 grain HPs I have previously tried. From the AMT I got an average of 1584 fps with an extreme spread of 109 fps between the fastest and slowest for a standard deviation of 43. Groups at 25 and 50 yards were about average for this gun, neither the best nor the worst. For comparison, CCI 30 grain +V hollowpoints averaged 1639 fps with an SD of 26 while CCI 30 grain TNTs went 1689 fps with a SD of 18.  The TNTs are the only ammo that has not been 100% reliable in the AMT, sometimes the wide mouth hollowpoint will hang up on the left side of the feed ramp.
  From the 20" barrel of the BRNO, velocity of the 30 grain v-max jumped to 2224 fps average for five shots but the extreme spread also jumped to 213 fps for an SD of 89! That is the worst extreme spread I've ever gotten from .22 rim mag ammo. But the targets told a different story. At fifty yards two groups of five shots went 0.63" and 0.75", two of the best groups I've ever gotten from that little semi-auto! So much for SD as an indication of accuracy! Now I do suspect that velocity spread would have resulted in vertical spread at 100 yards but I didn't try it as the wind was starting to kick up and I doubted I could get any sort of group at 100. I've yet to find any ammo that won't function just fine in the BRNO.
