Fiocchi Field Dynamics .223 Remington 40-grain Hornady V-Max ammunition (part no. 223HVB50) pairs Fiocchi’s manufacturing with one of the most trusted varmint bullets in the business. Fiocchi tops this light, fast 40-grain bullet with Hornady’s V-Max polymer tip, which drives explosive fragmentation on impact for rapid energy transfer on varmints rather than deep penetration. It is a purpose-built varmint and predator load, not a big-game round, and the 50-round box keeps a day of prairie dog or coyote shooting well supplied. In rifle ammunition for varmint hunting, this is a proven bullet at a practical price.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .223 Remington, compatible with the vast majority of AR-15 rifles and 5.56 NATO chambers.
• The bullet weighs 40 grains, light and fast for maximum expansion energy on varmints.
• The bullet uses Hornady’s V-Max polymer tip, driving explosive fragmentation on impact.
• That fragmentation delivers rapid energy transfer rather than deep penetration, ideal for varmints rather than big game.
• The cases are brass, and each box holds 50 rounds, shipped 20 boxes to the case.
• Cost runs about $0.82 per round, keeping high-volume varmint shooting affordable.
• A full box ships at approximately 1.3 lb.
• This load is built for AR-15 rifles and bolt-action varmint rifles chambered in .223 Remington.
• The V-Max’s thin jacket keeps manufacturing cost lower than a bonded or premium controlled-expansion bullet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this load suited for big game? No, the V-Max bullet is built to fragment rapidly for varmint and predator use, not for the deeper penetration big game requires.

What does the polymer tip do on a varmint bullet? It initiates immediate, explosive expansion on impact, maximizing energy transfer on small, thin-skinned targets.
