The Hornady V-MAX Bullets .22 cal .224" 50 gr V-MAXBT represent industry-leading varmint ammunition engineered for shooters who demand flat trajectories, pinpoint accuracy, and reliable expansion across variable hunting and field conditions. Whether you're engaging prairie dogs, coyotes, or smaller game at extended ranges, these match-grade bullets deliver the ballistic performance and consistency that separates professional-grade ammunition from standard factory loads. Each box contains 100 rounds, providing sufficient inventory for serious shooters and reloaders who prioritize quality component sourcing and repeatability in their ammunition supply chain.
The defining feature of the Hornady V-MAX design is its polymer tip combined with a streamlined ballistic profile that achieves ultra-flat trajectories and reduced wind drift compared to traditional round-nose or hollow-point alternatives. The match-grade jacket concentricity—the precision alignment of the bullet's jacket to its core—ensures maximum accuracy at all ranges by minimizing runout and promoting consistent velocity and bullet stability through the barrel. Rated for explosive expansion even at velocities as low as 1600 feet per second, these .224" diameter, 50-grain projectiles retain sufficient energy and structural integrity to deliver consistent terminal performance in field applications where velocity variation is a practical concern.
Long-range varmint hunters, precision rifle competitors, and handloaders benefit most from the V-MAX's superior concentricity and aerodynamic design, particularly when working with high-velocity .22 centerfire platforms such as the .222 Remington, .223 Remington, or .22-250 Remington. These bullets are purpose-built for clean, explosive terminal performance on small-to-medium game and pest species where shot placement and rapid expansion are tactical requirements. Reloaders appreciate the consistency and component quality that Hornady's manufacturing standards guarantee, enabling tighter load development and superior shot-to-shot velocity uniformity—critical factors in field accuracy and reliability.
