Hornady V-MAX .17 Caliber Bullets
The Hornady V-MAX represents a significant advancement in varmint and small-game ammunition design. These .172" diameter, 20-grain bullets combine proven engineering with modern materials to deliver consistent, reliable performance.
Key Features
Polymer Tip Technology
- Increases ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories
- Initiates dramatic expansion even at velocities as low as 1600 fps
- Sharp, pointed design maximizes aerodynamic efficiency
Superior Accuracy
- Match-grade, concentrically swaged jacket ensures consistency
- Ballistic coefficient of .185 for reduced wind drift
- Sectional density of .097 provides optimal penetration characteristics
- Maximum bearing surface for in-flight stability
Controlled Fragmentation
- Specially designed lead core works in concert with the polymer tip
- Swaging process creates a cavity beneath the tip stem
- Tip builds energy before impacting the core, causing dramatic fragmentation
- Gilding metal jacket engineered for explosive expansion
Design Options
- Available in both boat tail and flat base configurations
- Proper base design selected for each variant to ensure incredible long-range stability
