223 REM BLACK HILLS 60 GRAIN V-MAX (500 ROUNDS)

Unless you’re blessed with a home surrounded by farmland, you generally have to go out of your way to get to where the varmints are. So long as you’re investing your valuable time into a varmint hunt, you’d might as well invest in some of the best varmint hunting ammunition as well. That just so happens to be right here on this web page.

This 223 Rem cartridge by Black Hills has a firecracker for a bullet: Hornady’s 60 grain V-MAX. It’s a sharpshooter’s bullet with a concentrical, streamlined AMP jacket, as well as a symmetrical polymer tip that enables it to lance its way through the air. This round’s V-MAX keeps a hefty share of its 3,150 fps muzzle velocity way downrange, yet it only needs about half of that speed to deliver its fantastic terminal effect.

The V-MAX’s polymer tip doesn’t just maximize its ballistic coefficient. It is poised in such a way that enables it to generate a great deal of energy before connecting with the core, at which point it splinters it and the jacket apart nearly instantly. Imagine a tiny little hand grenade, and you get a sense of what a V-MAX does inside its target.

Black Hills’ new production brass shell casing can be counted upon to chamber perfectly several times, and the Boxer primers and propellant they load with are state of the art. Varmints will see you coming and start speed dialing their estate attorneys.
