Hornady V-MAX Varmint Bullets: Precision and Performance

The Hornady V-MAX represents one of the most effective varmint bullets ever developed. This .224 caliber, 55-grain projectile combines proven design principles with modern manufacturing to deliver consistent, explosive results in the field.

Key Features

Polymer Tip Technology

  • Increases ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories
  • Initiates dramatic expansion upon impact
  • Effective even at velocities as low as 1600 fps
  • Streamlined profile reduces wind drift

Match-Grade Jacket Design

  • Concentrically formed for maximum accuracy at all ranges
  • Gilding metal construction for reliable performance
  • Provides the bearing surface needed for in-flight stability

Swaged Lead Core

  • Precisely formed around the polymer tip
  • Creates a cavity beneath the tip's stem
  • Allows the tip to build energy before impact
  • Results in dramatic fragmentation of both core and jacket

Boattail Base Design

  • Engineered for incredible in-flight stability
  • Supports long-range shooting applications
  • Maintains velocity and energy downrange

Ballistic Specifications
