Industry-leading varmint bullet with polymer tip and streamlined design for ultra-flat trajectories. Match-grade jacket concentricity ensures maximum accuracy with explosive expansion down to 1600 fps.
Hornady's V-MAX bullets represent the pinnacle of varmint ammunition design. These .224" 40-grain projectiles combine proven engineering with field-tested performance to deliver the accuracy and terminal results serious varmint hunters demand.
Polymer Tip Design The signature polymer tip serves dual purposes: it increases ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and initiates dramatic expansion upon impact—even at velocities as low as 1600 fps. This means reliable performance across a wide range of shooting distances and conditions.
Match-Grade Jacket Concentricity Hornady's commitment to precision manufacturing ensures exceptional concentricity in the jacket design. This translates to maximum accuracy at all ranges and consistent, explosive expansion on target.
Optimized Ballistic Profile The sharp-pointed polymer tip combines with an aerodynamic profile to achieve a high ballistic coefficient. The V-MAX design maximizes bearing surface for superior in-flight stability, critical for long-range accuracy.
Swaged Lead Core The swaging process creates a precisely formed core with a cavity beneath the tip's stem. Upon impact, the tip builds energy before transferring force to the core, resulting in dramatic fragmentation and reliable terminal performance.
Boattail Design The boattail configuration provides incredible in-flight stability, ensuring consistent performance at extended ranges.
With 250 rounds per box, these bullets deliver the accuracy, velocity retention, and terminal performance that separate successful varmint hunters from the rest. Whether you're pursuing prairie dogs, coyotes, or other small game, V-MAX bullets are engineered to perform.
