Overview
Built for varmint hunting, this load is aimed at hunters who want a controlled, accurate option for small-game and pest work. The polymer-tipped V-MAX bullet is designed for rapid fragmentation on contact, while the brass cases, selected propellant, and primers are intended to support consistent performance. Chambered in 22 Hornet with a 35 grain bullet, it offers a practical balance for field use where precision and terminal effect matter. Each box contains 25 rounds, making it a straightforward choice for sight-in sessions or time afield.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for varmint and small game use, so it is not intended as a general-purpose or large-game load.
- The 25-round box count may be limiting for higher-volume range or field use.
- 22 Hornet chambering requires a rifle specifically chambered for that cartridge.
- The V-MAX bullet is described as rapidly fragmenting on contact, which is a trade-off to consider if you want deeper penetration over immediate expansion.
