The Fiocchi .204 Ruger 40gr Hornady V-MAX load (Fiocchi part no. 204HVB) comes from the Fiocchi Field Dynamics Varmint line, which is engineered for speed, precision and fast results on coyotes and small game. The 40-grain V-MAX bullet leaves the muzzle at 3700 fps, so the trajectory stays flat across open country where shots at varmints are brief. It is a good match for a predator or prairie dog rifle in .204 Ruger when range work and field work call for the same load. Each box holds 50 rounds.
