The Hornady V-MAX Bullets .22 caliber .224" 50 grain offers industry-leading varmint performance through a purpose-built polymer tip and match-grade jacket design. This 250-count package delivers the concentricity and ballistic efficiency that serious shooters demand for precision varmint work, small-game hunting, and high-volume range training where consistent accuracy across all distances is non-negotiable.
The polymer tip increases ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories while initiating dramatic expansion on impact—even at velocities as low as 1600 fps, a critical advantage when shooting smaller varmints with marginal velocity. The match-grade jacket design maintains exceptional concentricity, the foundation of sub-MOA accuracy at extended ranges. This combination ensures reliable expansion and energy transfer without requiring premium velocity, giving shooters flexibility in load development and firearm selection.
Designed for .22 centerfire platforms—including the .223 Remington, .22-250 Remington, and other .224" bore cartridges—these bullets are ideal for predator control, prairie dog towns, coyote work, and competitive varmint shoots. The 50-grain weight balances velocity retention with minimal recoil, making it accessible to shooters managing recoil sensitivity while maintaining downrange effectiveness. The 250-round box format suits both high-volume training sessions and field operations where spare ammunition matters.
V-MAX ammunition has established a strong reputation in varmint shooting communities for consistent performance across variable hunting conditions and target shooting disciplines. The polymer tip design and jacket construction represent proven technology, not experimental features, making this a reliable choice for hunters and shooters who prioritize field-tested results over novelty.
