I'm still using Speer spitzer boat tails in two of my rifles. I went to V max in my varmit rifle and then switched over to a A max and stayed right there. There was enough consistency in the A max to make the switch in that particular rifle. I'm about to try some Leverlution in some of my smaller bore lever guns to see what they do.

For a deer hunter, this seems to be a highly experienced decision. They have been getting the job done a very long time!
