V-MAX 22 CALIBER (0.224") POLYMER TIP BOAT TAIL RIFLE BULLETS

V-MAX 22 CALIBER (0.224") POLYMER TIP BOAT TAIL RIFLE BULLETS Reviews & Ratings

With its combination of proven materials, innovative design and streamlined profile, the Hornady® V-MAX® represents the pinnacle of what a specialized varmint bullet can achieve, offering straight-line trajectories, enhanced accuracy, dramatic expansion and explosive fragmentation at a wide range of distances and velocities.
The industry's leading varmint bullet with polymer tip and streamlined design results in flat trajectories. The concentricity of the match grade AMP® bullet jacket provides maximum accuracy at all ranges as well as explosive expansion, even at velocities as low as 1600 fps.

Product Features:


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.

Hornady V Max
Hornady 55-60gr V Max shoot extremely well in my bolt and AR platforms. Poly tip provides precise uniform tip finish. Ruger AR-556 MPR will shoot .5 MOA with minimal shoulder bump & Wilson straight line bullet seater. Great price in the 250 count.

1in14 twist too slow at 222rev velocities
222rem gets approx. 3050fps in my rem700v 24 in barrel using 22.5gr H322. If you do the calculation using Harris twist formula a 1in13 provides a minimal stability factor of 1. Some 1in14 twist barrels may like them but mine does not. Yet 50gr. V-max’s are my goto 223rem bullet of choice. Best load H4895 with 26.5 to 27.0 grains depending on case volume.
