Product Overview
The Hornady Varmint Express 87gr V-MAX is built for varmint hunters who need explosive terminal performance at distance. At 3,210 fps, this is one of the fastest 6mm Creedmoor loads available. The light 87gr V-MAX bullet with its polymer tip initiates rapid fragmentation on prairie dogs, groundhogs, and coyotes. The 0.400 G1 BC keeps the bullet stable in wind, though it sheds velocity faster than heavier match bullets.
This load works best inside 400 yards where velocity stays high enough for violent expansion. The thin jacket and polymer tip create large wound channels on small-bodied animals. Shooters using 6mm Creedmoor for predator control will find this load puts coyotes down fast without the pelt damage you get from larger calibers. The flat trajectory makes holdovers simple on running targets.
- 3,210 fps muzzle velocity makes this the fastest 6mm Creedmoor load for flat shooting
- V-MAX polymer tip causes explosive fragmentation on varmints and predators
- Light recoil compared to heavier bullet weights in the same caliber
- Brass case allows for reloading
- 0.400 BC is lower than match bullets, limiting effective range in wind
- Explosive expansion makes it unsuitable for game you want to eat
- Light bullet weight means less retained energy past 300 yards
- Not designed for target shooting where heavier bullets excel
