Hornady V-MAX Bullets .22 cal .224" 50 gr V-MAX 250/ct$54.25
Availability: In Stock
The Hornady V-MAX .20 caliber 40 grain rifle bullet is purpose-built for varmint hunting and precision shooting where rapid, reliable terminal performance matters. Each box contains 250 rounds of these specialized projectiles, engineered with Hornady's match-grade AMP jacket technology and a polymer-tipped design that delivers consistent expansion and fragmentation across a broad velocity window—even when impact speeds dip as low as 1600 fps.
What sets the V-MAX apart is its hollow-cavity polymer tip: upon impact, the hard tip shaft compresses and transfers energy directly into the swaged lead core, triggering violent expansion and core fragmentation rather than simple penetration. This design philosophy makes the V-MAX particularly effective on small game and varmints where quick, decisive terminal action is the goal. The streamlined profile and high ballistic coefficient also mean flatter trajectories and less wind drift, so your shots remain on target at distance.
Reloaders and shooters running dedicated .20 caliber rifles—whether a custom build or a factory varmint platform—will appreciate the precision concentricity of these bullets. The swaged core and boattail design provide the in-flight stability needed for long-range accuracy, while the match-grade jacket ensures consistency round to round. If you're working up loads for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, or target varminting, these 40-grain V-MAX rounds are a time-tested standard.
| Caliber | .20 cal (.204") |
| Weight | 40 grains |
| Bullet Type | Polymer-Tipped Varmint (V-MAX) |
| Count Per Box | 250 |
| Jacket Type | Match-Grade AMP |
| Core | Swaged Lead |
The .204 Ruger is the primary cartridge in this caliber, and it's designed for rifles chambered specifically for it. If you're unsure whether your rifle is a .20 caliber/.204 Ruger, check your rifle's markings or owner's manual.
Hornady V-MAX bullets are engineered to expand reliably even at impact velocities as low as 1600 fps, making them effective across the range of typical varminting distances.
These are component bullets (projectiles only) sold in a 250-count box, intended for reloaders. You will need to assemble them into complete cartridges with cases, primers, and powder.
The hollow-cavity polymer tip builds up speed and energy upon impact before driving into the swaged lead core, causing rapid and dramatic fragmentation. This aggressive terminal performance is ideal for varmints and small game where quick, definitive expansion is desired.
