Hornady Superformance Varmint V-Max Rifle Ammunition .223 WSSM 55gr PT 2600 fps 20/ct

Hornady Superformance Varmint V-Max rifle ammunition in .223 WSSM is built for varmint hunters who demand flat-shooting, hard-hitting loads without compromise. This cartridge loads a 55-grain Hornady V-Max polymer-tipped bullet ahead of Hornady's proprietary Superformance propellant, delivering a muzzle velocity of 2600 fps. The combination of modern propellant chemistry and proven bullet design makes this a serious choice for prairie dogs, coyotes, and other varmints at extended range.

The V-Max bullet's polymer tip and boat-tail design initiate rapid fragmentation on impact while maintaining the accuracy needed for precision varmint shooting. Superformance propellant technology is engineered to burn cleaner and more completely than conventional powders, translating to consistent velocities that support tighter shot groups and reduced velocity spread from gun to gun. This consistency matters when you're shooting across varying conditions and distances—flatter trajectory and less wind drift mean fewer misses in the field.

Factory loaded to safe pressures for all action types, including semi-automatics, these loads are ready to use straight from the box. Each box contains 20 rounds, making this a practical choice for practice sessions and hunting trips alike. If you're running .223 WSSM and want ammunition that bridges the gap between varmint-specific performance and real-world reliability, Superformance Varmint delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this ammunition safe to shoot in my semi-automatic rifle?

Yes. Hornady Superformance Varmint ammunition is loaded to safe pressures for use in all action types, including semi-automatic rifles.

What makes Superformance Varmint different from standard varmint ammunition?

Superformance propellant burns more completely and consistently than conventional powders, resulting in higher and more uniform velocities. This translates to tighter accuracy, flatter trajectories, and reduced wind drift—advantages that stack up over distance when hunting varmints.

What kind of performance can I expect from the V-Max bullet?

The V-Max bullet features a polymer tip and boat-tail design that deliver rapid fragmentation on impact, making it highly effective for varmint-sized game. The design also supports match-grade accuracy at typical varmint hunting ranges.

How much ammunition is in each box?

Each box contains 20 rounds.
