Shot great in my .284 win 52 grains of aa4350. Ladder load development shot 51-52.5 gr in 1/2” group at 250 yards. Out of my custom bench rifle. Was looking for an alternative bullet to use for short range competition. Will work perfect at 250 yards.

Long wait for them but now ready for coyote hunting. They shoot great. Hand loads are with 40.5 gr of imr 4064. Velocity of 2986. Sub moa accuracy in my Ruger American 6.5 Creedmoor. Should be plenty of punch for coyote even at 400 y. Haven’t shot on...

Most Recent Reviews 60 gr v-max by Phil, May 25, 2021
I love the Hornady 60gr V-Max for my 224 Valkyrie. My 223 also works well with 50gr V-max. Both work well on Prarie Dogs and Coyotes. I have heard that 60gr bullets may be discontinued. Better stock up if you shoot much.

Features of Hornady V-MAX Rifle Bullets, .22 Caliber, 55 Grain, Polymer Tip:

  • Polymer Tip: The secret to the explosive terminal performance of the V-Max is a hollow cavity resting between the tip's shaft and the body of the bullet. Upon impact, the hard shaft builds up speed and energy before driving into the core, causing the entire package to rapidly expand to the point of violent fragmentation, even at low terminal velocities;
  • 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 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: Utilizing the proper base design provides incredible in-flight stability for long-range shooting
