Hornady .22-250 50gr V-MAX-Varmint Express ammunition is designed around the hard-hitting performance of our famous V-MAX bullet. Polymer tipped V-MAX bullets deliver match accuracy, high ballistic coefficients, wind defying trajectories, and rapid fragmentation upon contact. Each Varmint Express offering is loaded with high quality cases and carefully selected propellant and primers that are chosen to provide the best performance in each individual load.
Product Features
Proven Bullets
Hornady V-MAX® bullets consistently achieve accuracy and rapid fragmentation at all practical varmint shooting velocities.
Powder
Each cartridge is loaded to ensure optimal pressure, velocity, accuracy and lot-to-lot consistency.
Select Brass
Hornady produces most of the brass for our Varmint Express® ammunition. Brass is chosen to ensure it meets our high standards for reliable feeding, corrosion resistance, proper hardness, and the ability to withstand maximum chamber pressures.
Primers
Like the powder, each primer is carefully matched to individual loads, and all are chosen for their ability to quickly, completely and reliably ignite the powder charge.
