Hornady Varmint Express 223 Rem 55gr V-Max - Varmint Ammo - 20rd

A .223 Rem varmint load needs to do two things well: shoot accurately enough to connect at 300 yards and fragment completely on contact. Hornady Varmint Express 223 Rem 55gr V-Max does both — consistent muzzle velocity from the first round to the last in the box, and immediate explosive fragmentation on anything it hits.

The V-Max polymer tip initiates immediate fragmentation on contact — no ricochets, no pass-throughs, no risk of lead reaching an unintended destination. At 55 grains, this V-Max load is among the fastest in the 223 Rem lineup — flat shooting and explosive on contact with small targets. Consistent propellant charges across the box keep velocity variation low, which shows up as consistent point of impact through extended sessions as barrel temperature rises.

• Caliber: 223 Rem
• Bullet Weight: 55gr
• Bullet Type: V-Max

Optimized for AR-15 and bolt-action varmint rifles. Loaded to standard .223 Rem SAAMI pressure — safe in any .223 or 5.56 chamber.

Brass is selected for dimensional consistency and loaded with propellants matched to the bullet's bearing surface and seating depth. Low extreme spread in muzzle velocity is what keeps the tenth shot at the same point of impact as the first during a long shooting session.

The go-to choice for high-volume range work, varmint hunting, and light defensive use. Popular with ranchers, pest control operators, and competitive varmint shooters who measure range performance in round count rather than box count.

Hornady Varmint Express and V-Match ammunition is made in the USA at the Grand Island, Nebraska facility that applies the same quality standards to varmint loads as to every other product in the catalog.
