Hated by Coyotes everywhere by Joe H, March 11, 2024
Highly recommended. It's the only bullet I use in my 22-250. 3950fps and a 50gr VMax paint a modern art masterpiece on varmints. One shot drop on song dogs. Optics Planet scores again with good prices and fast shipping.

Product Info for Hornady V-Max Rifle Bullets, 22 Caliber, .224, 50 Grain

The Hornady V-Max Bullet is built for the pinnacle of what a specialized varmint bullet can provide. Straight-line trajectories, enhanced accuracy, dramatic expansion and explosive fragmentation at a wide range of distances and velocities make this ideal for target shooting and plinking. The secret to the explosive terminal performance of the V-Max is a hollow cavity resting between the tip's shaft and body of the bullet. Upon impact, the hard shaft builds up speed and energy before driving into the core, which causes the entire package to rapidly expand to the point of violent fragmentation, even at low terminal velocities. This bullet is incredibly easy to shoot accurately as it utilizes an advanced AMP bullet jacketing that provides the highest level of concentricity for maximum accuracy at all ranges. This model has a polymer tip and a flat base that provides the maximum bearing surface for in-flight stability. The concentricity of the match grade AMP bullet jacket provides maximum accuracy at all ranges as well as explosive fragmentation, even at low terminal velocities. Buy them today!image

Features of V-Max Rifle Bullets, 22 Caliber, .224, 50 Grain:

  • Polymer Tip: The polymer tip increases the ballistic coefficient and also initiates dramatic expansion upon impact - even at velocities as low as 1600 fps.
  • Higher Ballistic Coefficient: Hornady combines the sharp pointed polymer tip with the most aerodynamic profile for a high ballistic coefficient. The V-MAX profile also provides the maximum bearing surface for added in-flight stability.
  • Swaged lead Core: The swaging process allows for precise formation of the core up and around the tip with a cavity under the tip?s stem. This allows the tip to build up energy before smashing into the core causing dramatic fragmentation of the core and jacket.
  • Precise Boattail & Flatbase Designs: Depending on the bullet V-MAX offers a variety of boat tail and flat base designs utilizing the proper base design to provide incredible in-flight stability for long-range shooting.
