Engineered for precision and explosive performance, the Hornady 22 Cal .224 53 Gr V-Max Bullets deliver the reliability serious reloaders demand for varmint control and target applications. These polymer-tipped projectiles combine advanced design with match-grade construction to provide flat trajectories, exceptional accuracy, and rapid expansion on impact. Key Features Polymer Tip Technology - Features a specialized hollow cavity beneath the tip that initiates dramatic expansion and fragmentation, even at velocities as low as 1600 fps, ensuring effective terminal performance on small game. Match-Grade AMP Jacket - The concentric AMP bullet jacket maximizes accuracy at all ranges while promoting consistent, explosive expansion upon contact. Streamlined Profile - Boat-tail design and secant ogive shape reduce drag for flatter trajectories and improved long-range stability in compatible 22-caliber rifles. High Ballistic Coefficient - .290 G1 BC and .151 sectional density support efficient flight and reliable results for targets under 50 lbs.
