What weight vmax would be the best to go with for hunting deer? 1:9 twist barrel. I had read somewhere that 75 grain wasn't very stable?

None, I would go with a good, bonded, softpoint or the Barnes TSX.

No VMAX. The 75 AMAX could be used, but it won't fit in an AR magazine.

USE a HP or HP-BT. The Federal V-shock 55gr HPBT is great for deer! I don`t know why in the world anyone would want to shoot a deer with a soft point when you can shoot one with a Hollow point or even better a Hollow Point Boat Tail. I have killed a ton of deer with 5.56mm (223) and HP or HPBT is the way to go.

Hope this helps.

The Barnes as said, i have some Federal loaded with 62gr Nosler Partitions you can pickup off the shelf and they are excelent on white tail but of course the Barnes is better,imo

Please read the ammunition review tacked at the top of the page. There's a link to hunting ammo reviews in it.

1:9 should shoot a 55gr bullet well.

As far as what to look for, the nosler partition is known to be a good performer on deer sized game. Here it is in 60gr, which should come out of that R15 pretty nicely.

Here's the 55gr Hollow point boat tail that was recommended: http://www.natchezss.com/Ammo.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=FAP223E&prodTitle=223%20REM%20HPBT%2055GR

Good luck, and learn to do a little research on your own.
