Hornady's V-MAX® bullets are engineered for varmint hunting, combining a gilding metal jacket, polymer tip, and a specially designed core to deliver enhanced accuracy, rapid expansion, and dramatic fragmentation across various distances and velocities. The streamlined polymer tip increases the ballistic coefficient and initiates expansion upon impact, even at velocities as low as 1,600 fps. The aerodynamic design ensures flat trajectories and in-flight stability, while the swaged lead core with a cavity under the tip's stem allows energy buildup before impact, causing violent fragmentation. The concentricity of the match-grade jacket design provides maximum accuracy at all practical ranges and contributes to the bullet's expansion. These features make the V-MAX® bullets a leading choice for varmint hunters seeking reliable performance.
