Overview
This 6mm .243, 75-grain V-MAX bullet is built for reloaders looking for a projectile suited to long-range shooting and controlled expansion on impact. Its polymer tip and aerodynamic profile are designed to support a high ballistic coefficient, while the V-MAX form adds in-flight stability through a maximum bearing surface and proper bullet base design. Hornady also notes dramatic expansion at velocities as low as 1600 fps, making it a practical choice when impact behavior matters. Load data should be verified through a reloading manual or the powder manufacturer’s website before use.

Pros
- Hornady V-MAX polymer tip is designed to increase ballistic coefficient.

- Maximum bearing surface adds in-flight stability.
- Designed for dramatic expansion upon impact, even at 1600 fps.
- Proper bullet base design supports incredible in-flight stability for long-range shooting.
Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for dramatic expansion and fragmentation, so it is not intended for applications where controlled penetration or bullet recovery is the priority.
- Performance is tied to the V-MAX design and its impact behavior, which may be a trade-off for hunters seeking a less explosive terminal effect.
- The product is a 100-count bullet pack, so it is best suited to reloaders who need component quantity rather than a ready-to-use loaded round.
- Load data is not included here; Hornady directs users to a reloading manual or powder manufacturer website, so setup requires separate reference materials.
