HSM’s Varmint line in .22 ARC (brand part no. 22ARC3N) loads a 60-grain V-Max bullet for early adopters of Hornady’s new Advanced Rifle Cartridge, designed for accuracy and long-range performance in a modern AR-compatible case. HSM builds this Varmint loading to the same degree of engineering and reliability found in its Match ammunition line, pairing the V-Max’s polymer tip with a cartridge purpose-built for varmint, predator, and precision applications. The .22 ARC case is designed to run through standard AR-15 magazines and bolt faces while delivering flatter trajectories than legacy .22-caliber AR cartridges. For .22 ARC shooters who want a proven bullet in this new chambering, this rifle ammunition is built for exactly that role.
