Hornady Superformance Varmint 22-250 Rem 50gr V-MAX Polymer Tip Ammo - 20 Rounds

Hornady Superformance Varmint 22-250 Rem ammunition is purpose-built for shooters who demand flatter trajectories, tighter groups, and faster impact on varmints under 50 pounds. Each 20-round box of this 22-250 Remington load pairs a 50-grain Hornady V-MAX polymer-tip bullet with Superformance powder technology—delivering velocity gains of 100 to 200 feet per second compared to conventional ammunition. That speed advantage translates to reduced wind drift, extended effective range, and the rapid bullet fragmentation varmint hunters rely on for clean, ethical kills. Whether you're reaching across prairie dog towns or working high-wind conditions, these rounds give you the ballistic edge without requiring action-type compromises.

The V-MAX bullet design centers on a polymer tip that ensures match-grade accuracy while promoting rapid expansion. That combination means you get the precision needed to place shots where they count, plus the terminal performance to anchor small game decisively. Superformance Varmint loads are safe in all firearm actions—including semi-autos—so you aren't limited to bolt guns or single-shots. If you're running an AR in 22-250 or a traditional hunting rifle, this ammunition works reliably across the board.

Hornady's Superformance line has earned its reputation among varmint hunters and long-range shooters because the velocity and accuracy gains are real, not marketing hype. Tighter wind corrections, less holdover adjustment, and better hit probability at distance add up to fewer missed opportunities and more successful days afield. For anyone pursuing small-game hunting or varmint control with a 22-250, these are the rounds that deliver performance that matters.

That boost translates directly to a flatter trajectory, less wind drift, and extended effective range—without sacrificing accuracy or safety.

Is this 22-250 ammo safe to use in semi-automatic rifles?

Yes. Hornady Superformance Varmint ammunition is engineered to be safe in all firearm action types, including semi-automatic rifles. You can use these loads in bolt-action, lever-action, single-shot, and AR-platform rifles without concern.

What size game is this ammunition suitable for?

Hornady Superformance Varmint is designed for varmint hunting of game under 50 pounds—including prairie dogs, ground squirrels, coyotes, and similar small predators and pests.

What makes the V-MAX bullet effective for varmint hunting?

The V-MAX features a polymer tip that ensures consistent bullet flight and match-grade accuracy. On impact, the tip initiates rapid fragmentation, which delivers the quick, humane results varmint hunters depend on.
