58 grain V-Max Varmint Express .243 Win Ammo For Woodchucks

I changed my mind about purchasing an additional varmint rifle and think this summer if I can find the time, I will "Dance With The One That Brought Me To The Dance".

I am itching to try a couple of boxes of 58 grain V-max .243 ammo for hunting woodchucks. The reports and tests on this ammo have all been positive showing sub minute of angle (under 1 inch groups out to 200 yards and beyond). At the time of this post ammunition is available from Midway USA for $25.99 for a box of 20.

I love the Savage rifle I own, however wish I had the money to put better GLASS on it and set it up for just shooting varmints and forget the carry over to hunting deer with it. Maybe a higher variable power range scope set up specifically for shooting out to 350 yards and beyond and something with a ballistic plex reticle and finer cross hairs for varmints.

Specs are as follows:

Hornady
Designed around the hard-hitting performance of the famous Hornady V-Max bullet, this ammunition is specifically designed for supremely accurate long-range shooting. The polymer tip enhances accuracy and promotes devastating expansion. It also increases the ballistic coefficient and stabilizes the bullet in flight. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable brass cases.
