Product Overview
Hornady Superformance Varmint .22-250 Remington 50gr V-Max ammunition delivers the perfect balance of velocity and ballistic efficiency for serious varmint hunters. The legendary V-Max bullet with its 0.242 G1 ballistic coefficient achieves an impressive 4,000 fps muzzle velocity thanks to Hornady's Superformance propellant technology. With 1,776 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this is the most powerful 50-grain load in the .22-250 lineup.
The V-Max bullet is designed for explosive terminal performance, making this ammunition ideal for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, woodchucks, and similar small varmints. The polymer tip initiates rapid expansion upon impact, creating dramatic wound channels and instant incapacitation. At 50 grains, the bullet also carries enough mass to perform effectively on coyotes and foxes when hunters need versatility across different game sizes.
Superformance technology represents Hornady's advancement in propellant chemistry, achieving 100-200 fps velocity gains over conventional ammunition without increasing pressure. This means shooters get flatter trajectories and reduced time of flight without stressing their rifles. For hunters demanding top-tier performance from their .22-250 platform, this ammunition represents the pinnacle of factory-loaded varmint hunting capability with a proven, accurate bullet design.
