Hornady V-MAX .224 55gr Varmint Bullets (100ct)

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
