I'm new to this forum. Noticed there were no replies. I have the V1 in the Optima Pistol and it is one of my favorite guns to hunt with. Also used the Barnes 225 and crush rib sabot.Dropped a doe in it's tracks.I also like the Hornady 240 xtp. Taken a few deer out to 60 yds with it. Just switched to the Blackhorn 209 powder this year .
