Hornady Varmint Express 223 Remington 55 Grain V-Max Rifle Ammunition

Hornady Varmint Express 223 Remington ammunition features the V-MAX bullet, engineered with a polymer tip and streamlined profile to achieve high ballistic coefficients and flat trajectories across practical shooting distances. The V-MAX design combines a gilding metal jacket, specially formulated lead core, and polymer tip to generate expansion initiated from within the bullet, resulting in rapid fragmentation upon impact. Hornady selects brass that meets strict standards for reliable feeding, corrosion resistance, appropriate hardness, and the ability to handle maximum chamber pressures. Each powder and primer is carefully chosen to optimize performance for this 55 grain load.
