The Hornady V-MAX 25 Caliber (.257) 75 Grain Boat Tail Bullets are purpose-built for varmint hunters and precision reloaders who demand consistency and terminal performance downrange. This box of 100 projectiles combines Hornady's reputation for match-grade quality with a design engineered for flat trajectories and reliable expansion across a wide velocity window—a real asset when you're loading for everything from prairie dogs to coyotes at distance.
What sets the V-MAX apart is its polymer-tipped profile and boat tail configuration. The polymer tip serves dual duty: it boosts the ballistic coefficient for a flatter arc and cleaner energy transfer, and it initiates rapid, dramatic expansion even at low velocities—as low as 1600 fps. That matters in the real world, where bullet placement and terminal effect often trump velocity. Hornady's swaged lead core is precisely formed around the tip cavity, creating the energy buildup and fragmentation pattern that makes these rounds effective on thin-skinned game. The boat tail design adds in-flight stability and extends effective range, while the match-grade jacket concentricity—a hallmark of Hornady's reloading components—delivers the accuracy consistency you need for hunting or load development.
Whether you're handloading for a .257 Roberts, .257 Weatherby Magnum, or another .257-based cartridge, these bullets reward precise technique. The 75-grain weight and boat tail profile make them suited to mid-range and longer hunting distances, and the polymer tip won't separate or degrade in your magazine. These are components for reloaders who take their craft seriously and expect their ammunition to perform when it counts.

| Bullet Type | Polymer Tip, Boat Tail |

The .257 diameter works in .257 Roberts, .257 Weatherby Magnum, and other .257-based cartridges. Always verify your rifle's chamber specification and consult published load data for your exact cartridge before beginning any reload.
Hornady designed the V-MAX to initiate expansion even at velocities as low as 1600 fps, which means they'll perform across a wider velocity range than many varmint bullets. That said, always ensure your load delivers sufficient velocity for the game you're hunting and follow established load data for your cartridge.
Yes. The 75-grain weight, boat tail design, and polymer tip work together to deliver a high ballistic coefficient and flat trajectory. The match-grade jacket concentricity also supports the accuracy consistency you need for longer shots—but you'll still need to develop your load carefully and know your rifle's actual performance.
This box contains 100 Hornady V-MAX bullets.
