20 Rounds of .22-250 Rem Ammo by Hornady Varmint Express - 55gr V-MAX

Choo choo! All aboard the Varmint Express! And it’s a one-way trip, too, because Hornady’s specialized varmint hunting 22-250 Rem cartridge showcases the laser-like accuracy and grenade-like terminal ballistics of the 55 grain V-MAX.

The V-MAX is designed for hunters who want to pick off smaller, flightier game. Its swaged lead core, flat base, aerodynamic profile, concentric jacket and sharp polymer tip all contribute to this bullet’s flat, stable trajectory. This bullet’s 0.255 G1 ballistic coefficient lets it retain over 1,000 ft lbs of energy at 200 yards when fired out of a 24” barrel!

The V-MAX swaged lead core has a precision formed nose cavity. When the polymer tip connects with the target it builds up a lot of energy before ramming into the base of that cavity, at which point it forces the core and jacket outward in a veritable starburst of terminal fragmentation.

Varmint Express ammo showcases everything the Nebraskan manufacturer knows about making ammo: select brass and primers, specially formulated propellant, expert loading practices and meticulous quality assurance protocol. It’ll be the last stop for any varmint that overlaps with your reticle.
