Hornady V-Max bullets deliver flat trajectories and explosive expansion for varmint hunting. The polymer tip and match-grade jacket provide maximum accuracy and dramatic fragmentation, even at velocities as low as 1600 fps.
The V-Max represents one of the industry's most effective varmint bullets, combining proven design principles with modern materials science. These .224 diameter, 55-grain projectiles are engineered for hunters and shooters who demand both accuracy and terminal performance.
Polymer Tip Technology The sharp, pointed polymer tip serves dual purposes: it increases the ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and initiates dramatic expansion upon impact. This design works effectively even at velocities as low as 1600 fps, giving you reliable performance across a wide range of shooting distances.
Match-Grade Jacket Construction Hornady's concentrically-formed gilding metal jacket provides maximum accuracy at all ranges. The precise manufacturing tolerances ensure consistent bullet-to-bullet performance, shot after shot.
Swaged Lead Core The core is formed through a swaging process that creates a cavity beneath the polymer tip. As the bullet impacts, the tip transfers energy directly into the core, causing dramatic fragmentation of both the core and jacket for maximum terminal effect.
Aerodynamic Profile The streamlined design combines with a high ballistic coefficient to deliver flat trajectories and excellent in-flight stability. Whether you choose the boat tail or flat base design, the V-Max provides the bearing surface needed for consistent long-range performance.
Ideal for varmint hunting, target shooting, and precision rifle applications where flat trajectories and explosive expansion matter.
