No. Hornady TAP are OTMs (they look like FMJ's with a small opening at the tip). IIRC V-Max are the polymere tipped rounds. The polymere tipped 75gr rounds won't fit in an AR-15's magazine.

I thought the red plastic tip was like the V-Max. Does the red plastic cover the hole?

No TAP loading has a polmer tip as far as I am aware of. Only the 75gr TAP should be considered for serious use, meaning against a 2 legged preditor.

I'm pretty sure they loaded the vmax in they're 55 and 60 grain TAP at one time or another. he may have the 55 grain vmax, but all he'd have to is look. Because forrest, you only addressed the 75 grain bullet he had.
DonD, if your 55 grainers have a red tip, then yes it is the vmax. They don't make an Amax in 55 that I'm aware of. And like forrest said, the 75's are BTHP's. Just have a look at them.
Edited to add: if you have red tips in boxes that are marked 75 grain then they're either:
#1 labeled wrong or 55 or 60's put in the wrong box or
#2 a new loading of 75 grain amax'es that none of us know about. Which are not supposed to fit in an AR magazine.
Can you take a pic???
