The Hornady V-MAX .224" 53gr Projectiles are engineered for superior varmint hunting performance, making them a leading choice for reloaders. These projectiles offer an innovative design and a streamlined profile to deliver straight-line trajectories, enhanced accuracy, dramatic expansion, and explosive fragmentation across a wide range of distances and velocities.

Featuring a polymer tip and streamlined design, these projectiles ensure flat trajectories. The match-grade AMP bullet jacket provides maximum accuracy at all ranges, alongside explosive expansion, even at velocities as low as 1600 fps.

Key Features:

• POLYMER TIP: The explosive terminal performance of the V-MAX is due to a hollow cavity between the tip's shaft and the bullet body. Upon impact, the hard shaft builds speed and energy before driving into the core, causing rapid expansion and violent fragmentation, even at low terminal velocities.
• HIGHER BALLISTIC COEFFICIENT: Hornady combines a sharp, pointed polymer tip with an aerodynamic profile for a high ballistic coefficient. The V-MAX profile also provides maximum bearing surface for enhanced in-flight stability.
• SWAGED LEAD CORE: The swaging process precisely forms the core around the tip, with a cavity under the tip's stem. This allows the tip to build energy before impacting the core, leading to dramatic fragmentation of both the core and jacket.
• PRECISE BOATTAIL & FLATBASE DESIGNS: The carefully engineered base design provides incredible in-flight stability, crucial for accurate long-range shooting.
