Federal Varmint & Predator .223 Rem ammunition delivers the terminal performance serious varmint hunters and predator callers need. Built around Hornady's V-Max bullet—a proven design engineered for explosive expansion on impact—this 53-grain load is accurate enough for precision work at distance and lethal enough to anchor everything from prairie dogs to coyotes cleanly. Each round pairs that bullet with Federal's consistent brass, reliable primers, and proven propellant, so you get the same point-of-impact shot after shot, whether you're working a Wyoming prairie or calling in canines at dusk.
The V-Max's design makes it ideal for thin-skinned game and varmints. On impact, the bullet expands violently, transferring energy fast and minimizing pelt damage—a real advantage if you care about hide quality. The .223 Remington cartridge itself is inherently accurate, forgiving, and mild-mannered enough for extended range sessions without fatigue, yet potent enough for effective performance on predators. This is working ammunition, not a range toy: it's built for hunters and shooters who need consistent, dependable performance without compromise.
You get 40 rounds total—two 20-round boxes—so you can stock up, practice, and hunt without constantly restocking. Federal ammunition is manufactured to tight tolerances, so each cartridge feeds reliably and performs identically to its neighbors in the box. If you shoot varmints or respond to predator calls, this load belongs in your magazine or on the bench.
