Overview
Built for varmint hunting, this .223 Remington load is aimed at shooters who want a fast, precise option for small-game control. The 55-grain V-Max bullet is paired with a muzzle velocity of 3240 fps and 1282 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, giving the cartridge the kind of performance profile suited to open-country shots where trajectory matters. Each box includes 20 rounds, making it a practical choice for a day in the field or for keeping on hand for the next outing. Brass cases round out the load for hunters who prefer a conventional centerfire setup from Hornady’s Varmint Express line.

- The V-Max bullet is presented here for varmint use, so it’s a purpose-built load rather than a general-purpose hunting round.
- Muzzle velocity and energy are listed for this load, but actual results can vary with firearm and conditions.
