Special Features

• Sharp polymer tip sits over a hollow cavity and drives into the core on impact, which promotes rapid fragmentation of the bullet for strong varmint effect.
• Streamlined V-MAX profile and pointed tip combine to raise ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and reduced wind drift at common varmint ranges.
• AMP jacket construction keeps jacket concentricity very high, which supports excellent accuracy and stable bullet flight.
• Swaged lead core forms precisely around the tip cavity, helping the bullet fragment in a controlled, explosive pattern on target.
• V-MAX line engineering focuses on pairing match style external shape with varmint oriented internal design for both accuracy and terminal performance.

• The 55 grain weight and .224 diameter profile work well with common twist rates, so you can build loads that group tightly in many standard varmint rifles.
• Flat trajectory and fast, violent expansion help you make precise shots and anchor small game quickly across open country and field edges.
• With 250 bullets per box, you can work up a proven varmint load and still have plenty of projectiles for extended trips and high volume dog town shooting.
• If you want a 22 caliber varmint bullet that blends match grade shape with explosive performance, Hornady V-MAX 22 Cal .224 55 Grain Bullets (22716) are a capable tool for focused varmint and predator hunters.
