25 Rounds of 5.7x28mm Ammo by Hornady BLACK - 40gr V-MAX

Well, would you look at that: some of the finest target shooting and varmint hunting 5.7x28mm ammunition on the market. It’s Hornady BLACK, featuring the same 40 grain V-MAX projectile as FN Herstal’s own SS197SR spec sporting load. This round’s muzzle velocity is a little hotter than the European manufacturer’s round, which simply means a little more recoil, a slightly flatter trajectory, and more energy transfer on impact. Sign us the heck up!

The V-MAX is a high-accuracy bullet – a stellar choice if you’re trying to see just how precisely you can line up shots with a Ruger-5.7 or FN Five-seveN or whatever the heck else you got chambered for 5.7. The V-MAX’s polymer tip and thin AMP jacket don’t just make it accurate, though. They also equip it to undergo rapid terminal expansion accompanied by outright fragmentation. That kind of terminal performance may prove too shallow for self-defense. Up to you whether it is or not. It’s also positively certain to cream any small game’s corn. Like a flash of varmint-killing lightning from the sky, no less.

Do you handload? Don’t let some other creep pocket this ammo’s spent brass. Keep it and load it yourself!
