Hornady V-MAX 243 Cal 6mm 58gr Boat Tail Bullets - Box of 100

The Hornady V-MAX 243 Cal 6mm 58gr Boat Tail Bullets are purpose-built for varmint hunters and precision reloaders who demand explosive performance and flat-shooting accuracy. These boat tail bullets combine a polymer tip with Hornady's match-grade jacket concentricity to deliver consistent expansion and dramatic fragmentation across a wide velocity range—even at impact speeds as low as 1600 fps. Whether you're loading for prairie dogs, coyotes, or long-range varmint work, these 58-grain projectiles offer the aerodynamic efficiency and terminal performance that separates clean kills from frustrating misses.

The polymer tip isn't just for looks. It increases ballistic coefficient for a flatter trajectory and acts as a wedge that initiates violent expansion upon impact. That means reliable performance whether you're shooting close or stretching distance. Hornady's swaging process creates a precisely formed lead core with a cavity beneath the tip stem—a design that channels energy into the core, causing the jacket and core to fragment together for maximum tissue destruction and quick, ethical kills on small game.

Boat tail geometry improves in-flight stability and extends effective range, while the match-grade jacket concentricity ensures round-to-round consistency that reloaders expect. These aren't off-the-shelf plinking rounds; they're engineered for shooters who tune their loads and expect their bullets to perform exactly as specified. A box of 100 gives you plenty for load development, hunting season, or building a reliable varmint load you can depend on year after year.

Frequently Asked Questions

What velocities do these bullets work best at?

The polymer tip is designed to initiate expansion reliably even at velocities as low as 1600 fps, making these bullets effective across a broad speed range. They're ideal for standard .243 Winchester hunting loads.

Are V-MAX bullets good for reloading?

Yes. The match-grade jacket concentricity and precisely swaged lead core make these bullets excellent for handloaders who want consistent, predictable performance. The tight tolerances support the load development process and reward careful ammunition assembly.

What are these bullets designed for?

V-MAX bullets are engineered for varmint hunting and precision target work where rapid expansion and flat trajectories are priorities. The 58-grain 6mm is popular for prairie dogs, coyotes, and other small to medium varmints.

What's included in the box?

You receive 100 loose bullets per box—no primers, powder, or cases. This box size is standard for reloading component purchasing.
