Any predictions/experience on its performance? Compared to 75 gr. TAP in 5.56?

Doesn't the 'V' in V-Max ammo stand for varmint?
My personal preference for 7.62x39 is Wolf 124gr JHP Military Classic or Wolf 154gr SP.
HOWEVER
When one moves to a expanding/fragmenting design in 7.62 x 39 mm, terminal performance is significantly enhanced

:confused:
A 123gr fragmenting load for the 7.62 should act quite similar to the 125gr JHPs Federal load that is made for the 30-30.
I would guess this would be rather effective. Think .223 varmint bullet performance with 3 times the mass.
The 52gr load for the 5.45 doesn't make me excited. IMHO the standard Russian service load works as well as anything else would for that round.
