Hornady V-MAX Bullets .22 cal .224" 55 gr V-MAX 250/ct

The Hornady V-MAX Bullets .22 cal .224" 55 gr V-MAX 250/ct is purpose-built for varmint hunters and precision shooters who demand consistent, explosive performance at extended ranges. With 250 rounds per box, this ammunition offers the volume needed for serious shooting sessions, practice, or field applications where flat trajectories and reliable expansion are non-negotiable. Law enforcement and military marksmen familiar with match-grade ammunition recognize Hornady's reputation for concentricity and ballistic consistency—qualities that translate directly to tighter groups and predictable terminal performance.

The V-MAX design incorporates a polymer tip seated in a streamlined boat-tail profile, engineered to deliver ultra-flat trajectories and minimal wind drift. The match-grade jacket construction ensures exceptional concentricity—critical for accuracy across all effective ranges—while the specialized tip design promotes explosive expansion even at low velocities down to 1600 feet per second. This velocity threshold is significant for shooters using reduced-power loads or engaging targets at extended distances where velocity naturally decays; the bullet still performs reliably where other designs might fail to expand. At 55 grains in .224" diameter, this projectile balances penetration and expansion dynamics for varmint-sized game and precision target work.

This loading is optimized for .22-250 Remington, .223 Remington, and similar centerfire rifles where .224" projectiles are standard. Handloaders and ammunition manufacturers value Hornady bullets for their dimensional consistency and quality control, reducing sorting and reducing load development variables. Competition shooters, varmint hunters, and precision rifle enthusiasts will find the 250-round count per box an economical choice for high-volume shooting, allowing extended range sessions without frequent reordering while maintaining the match-grade performance standards that separate quality ammunition from commodity loads.
