Black Hills 55 gr Vmax ..or..Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 55 gr?? I have used both and had great luck with both. Both punch very tight groups on paper and both knock them down good if I put them where they belong. I have been favoring the Black hills ammo for a while now, but nobody around here carries it, however, it seems like everyone has the Winchester on hand.
I guess what I'm wondering is how do they compare?? To me the Black Hills just seems hotter. .....just looking for some input. Thanks,

Never used the Black Hills, but the Ballistic Silvertips have been consistent for me.

I love the V-max's
Night before last . I geared-up for the usual night hunting for some Coyotes. Drove out to the field of my choice . put on the NV and Pack & grabbed the AR . Hiked-in about 20 minute walk. set-up my call and strolled back to my Sit . Pushed the Remote on the caller and then waited in the Dark with no moon and 'so Quiet' you could hear a pin drop.
I always shoot 50 grn v-max @ 3300 fps with excellent results but the I Had NO USE for the 50 V-max though and it was pretty useless on the coyotes in that area, as the song of, ' Titties & Beer.' came Blasting out my coat-sleeve pocket from my cell phone as my Ring-tone of choice when the Ol Lady calls me.

try the 60gr. V-MAX--1 OF THE BEST FOR ME--also the nosler partition--both loaded by BH

i use the 50 grain BT.

Ive taken 15+ dogs with a 22, 2 with the 17hmr (17 grain vmax) and a bunch more with 223 pushing a 40 grn vmax....dont sweat it...head and neck shots and the dog is down...

those are almost identical, same thing with the nosler bt or sierra blitzking i dont think the coyote gonna be able to tell either way. I did have a coyote run on me when I hit him broadsides with a 55gr vmax handload but I am almost certain that was my fault due to bad placement.
