The Hornady V-MAX 243 caliber 75 grain boat tail bullets are engineered for reloaders who want reliable expansion and consistent performance across a range of hunting and varmint applications. This box of 100 bullets combines proven terminal performance with precision manufacturing, making them a solid choice for hand-loaders working up loads in 6mm chambers. Whether you're developing match-grade ammunition for prairie dogs, coyotes, or similar medium-range hunting, the V-MAX design delivers the aerodynamic profile and in-flight stability that serious reloaders depend on.
Each bullet features a polymer tip that's designed to initiate expansion at lower velocities while also boosting the ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and retained energy downrange. The boat tail geometry works in concert with the polymer tip to minimize drag, which means your hand-loaded rounds carry more energy further and hold their trajectory better than comparable flat-base designs. Hornady's swaging process creates a precisely formed lead core with a cavity beneath the tip stem, concentrating energy transfer and promoting controlled fragmentation on impact.
For reloaders, consistency matters—and Hornady's manufacturing tolerances reflect that. These bullets offer uniform weight and concentricity from round to round, which translates to more predictable velocities and tighter groups when you're dialing in your load development. The 75 grain weight in 6mm is a sweet spot for speed without sacrificing on the sectional density needed for effective terminal performance at practical hunting ranges.
| Caliber | 243 / 6mm |
| Bullet Weight | 75 grains |
| Bullet Type | V-MAX Polymer Tip Boat Tail |
| Quantity | 100 per box |
The 75 grain V-MAX is commonly used for varmint hunting (prairie dogs, coyotes) and medium-range hunting applications where rapid expansion is desired. Actual suitability depends on your specific rifle, load, and intended quarry—always consult published reloading data for your caliber and bullet.
Boat tail bullets have a tapered base that reduces drag and improves in-flight stability, particularly beneficial for longer-range shooting. The V-MAX boat tail design in this product contributes to a higher ballistic coefficient and better energy retention downrange compared to flat-base alternatives.
Like all Hornady V-MAX bullets, these should be loaded according to published reloading data specific to your caliber, powder, and primer combination. Use a reloading manual or established load data from a reliable source—never guess at handload recipes.
This box contains 100 bullets, so you'll have enough to produce 100 complete hand-loaded cartridges (assuming you have the corresponding cases, powder, and primers on hand).
