Hornady Black 5.7x28mm 40gr V-Max ammunition (part no. 90001) loads a 40-grain v-max bullet in 5.7x28mm, built for hunters who need confirmed, reliable performance in the field. Hornady built the Black line around modern semi-auto pistol and PDW-style platforms, loaded for reliable function and consistent accuracy. V-Max construction fragments rapidly on impact for explosive results on varmints. In rifle ammunition for hunters and rifle shooters, this is the load built for exactly that.
