Hornady V-Max Projectiles .22 Cal .224" 55gr with Cannelure

With its combination of proven materials, innovative design, and streamlined profile, the Hornady V-MAX represents the pinnacle of what a specialised varmint projectile can achieve. It offers flat trajectories, enhanced accuracy, dramatic expansion, and explosive fragmentation at a wide range of distances and velocities.

As the industry's leading varmint projectile, its polymer tip and streamlined design result in flat trajectories. The concentricity of the match-grade AMP projectile jacket provides maximum accuracy at all ranges, as well as explosive expansion, even at velocities as low as 1600 fps. The integrated cannelure aids in consistent neck tension for reliable reloading.

• Polymer Tip: The secret to the explosive terminal performance of the V-MAX is a hollow cavity resting between the tip's shaft and the body of the projectile. Upon impact, the hard shaft builds up speed and energy before driving into the core, causing the entire package to rapidly expand to the point of violent fragmentation, even at low terminal velocities.
• Higher Ballistic Coefficient: Hornady combines the sharp, pointed polymer tip with the most aerodynamic profile for a high ballistic coefficient. The V-MAX profile also provides the maximum bearing surface for added in-flight stability.
• Swaged Lead Core: The swaging process allows precise formation of the core up and around the tip, with a cavity under the tip's stem. This allows the tip to build up energy before smashing into the core, causing dramatic fragmentation of the core and jacket.
• Precise Boattail & Flatbase Designs: Utilising the proper base design provides incredible in-flight stability for long-range shooting.
