Solved from this product's advertised 3035 fps, 75gr bullet and G1 BC 0.330, with the sight 1.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for 6mm ARC.
How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 500 yards.

Product Overview
HSM V-MAX 75-grain is a polymer-tipped 6mm ARC load made for varmint hunting and precision shooting. HSM loads Hornady's V-Max, a thin-jacketed varmint bullet, and at 75 grains it is the lightest bullet the caliber is loaded with. It leaves the muzzle at 3,035 fps with 1,534 ft-lbs and a G1 BC of .330.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 7.2 inches at 300 and 21.5 inches at 400. From a 100-yard zero it drops 27.8 inches at 400.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady's V-Match 80-grain ELD-VT is five grains heavier at much the same muzzle speed, and on a G1 BC of .410 it drops 19.8 inches at 400 from a 200-yard zero. It kicks about 13 percent more in the same rifle.
- Nothing in 6mm ARC kicks less
- The fastest 6mm ARC load at the muzzle
- Starts 15 fps faster than Hornady's V-Match 80-grain ELD-VT
- The lowest G1 BC in the caliber
- Down to 1,987 fps at 400 yards, slower there than any other 6mm ARC load
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
