Hornady V-Max bullets deliver flat trajectories and explosive expansion for varmint hunting. The polymer tip and match-grade jacket ensure dramatic fragmentation and reliable accuracy from 1600 fps to full velocity.
The V-Max represents one of the industry's most effective varmint bullets, combining proven design principles with innovative materials for consistent, dramatic results downrange.
Polymer Tip Design The sharp, pointed polymer tip serves dual purposes: it increases the ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and initiates rapid expansion upon impact. This design initiates dramatic expansion even at velocities as low as 1600 fps, making these bullets effective across a wide velocity range.
Match-Grade Jacket Concentricity Hornady's commitment to precision manufacturing means each bullet features exceptional concentricity in the gilding metal jacket. This precision translates directly to maximum accuracy at all ranges and ensures consistent, explosive expansion.
Aerodynamic Profile The streamlined design combines with a high ballistic coefficient for ultra-flat trajectories. The V-Max profile maximizes bearing surface for superior in-flight stability, particularly important for long-range varmint work.
Swaged Lead Core The core is precisely formed around the polymer tip with a cavity beneath the tip's stem. This engineering allows the tip to build energy before transferring force into the core, resulting in dramatic fragmentation of both core and jacket.
Whether you're pursuing prairie dogs, ground squirrels, or other varmints, the V-Max delivers the flat trajectories and explosive terminal performance that define modern varmint hunting. The combination of aerodynamic design and reliable expansion makes these bullets a trusted choice for shooters who demand results.
