Federal V&P 223 Remington 53-Grain Hornady V-Max ammunition delivers precision and explosive terminal performance for varmint and predator control. Each round combines Federal's proven brass, primer, and propellant with Hornady's V-Max bullet design to ensure consistent accuracy and reliable expansion across the full velocity spectrum.
The 53-grain V-Max bullet exits the muzzle at 3400 feet per second, delivering the velocity necessary for flat-trajectory performance at extended range while maintaining the controlled expansion characteristics that define the V-Max line. This combination of speed and bullet construction produces predictable wound channels and minimal over-penetration, critical factors when precision is required in populated or sensitive terrain. Federal's quality control across brass and ignition components ensures shot-to-shot consistency that serious shooters demand.
This load is purpose-built for shooters and hunters targeting small to medium predators and varmints—prairie dogs, coyotes, and similar game—where accuracy, velocity, and bullet performance directly impact success. The 20-round box format supports extended training sessions, field operations, and stock rotation for those who maintain consistent ammunition supplies. Federal's Varmint & Predator line has earned credibility among professional wildlife control operators, ranch managers, and dedicated precision shooters who depend on ammunition that performs identically across multiple shooting sessions.
The .223 Remington platform dominates the varmint ammunition market for its inherent accuracy, low recoil, and wide rifle availability. The 53-grain weight strikes a balance between velocity retention and wind deflection resistance, making it suitable for both close-range work and mid-range engagements where wind becomes a factor. Operators familiar with .223-platform rifles will recognize Federal V&P as a field-proven choice backed by measurable terminal performance data.
