32 V-max availability
Just as an fyi, Graf's and Powder Valley show 32 v-max boxes of 100 in stock, guessing Hornady just released a run.

Thanks for the info!
I'm fortunate in still having a stash of 33-grain 5mm VMax bullets that I bought before Hornady dropped a grain in that caliber for whatever reason they had. I use them in the tiny 5mm Remington Magnum case converted to centerfire, and they are gooood! |

I too have a decent stash of the old 33 grain bullets and I shoot them in my Model 591 Schroeder conversion. -BCB

Thanks for that tidbit BCB! So they dropped a grain and got 4000fps. Ain't that something.
I was born a few years after the 220 Swift came out in, I believe, 1935 or so, and I grew up in the 1950s pining over the famous 4110fps factory velocity that gave it bragging rights as the the fastest round around. I believe Winchester used an odd-weight 48 grain bullet to achieve it. History repeats itself in many ways. After I got big enough to own a .220 Swift, I bought a Ruger 77 medium-weight barrel and began loading for and shooting it. But by that time, I had matured and I never did strive for the 4000-plus bragging rights the gun was capable of achieving. Instead, I settled on 50-55 grain bullets that shot in the high 3000s and made me happy with great accuracy and high effectiveness on faraway varmints. I never did find that exceeding 4000fps was worth anything of substance. But obviously Hornady did, and so it explains the lost grain. Life is funny sometimes.

I always considered the 33 gr bullet more accurate in most of my 20's. I believe the length of the bearing surface was shorten on the 32 gr which probably helped more than the 1 gr.

I still have a healthy supply of 33s
They are extremely accurate and are saved for my coyote and rock chuck loads.
The 33 is very devastating on rock chucks and coyotes don’t like em either Matt
