Hornady Superformance Varmint .223 WSSM ammunition (part no. 8308) loads a 55-grain Hornady V-Max Polymer Tip for varmint hunters who want fast, explosive results. Hornady builds its ammunition around match-grade bullets designed in-house, giving hunters and shooters factory-loaded consistency. The polymer tip triggers violent, explosive fragmentation built for varmint work, not for controlled expansion on big game. Cased and 20 to a box, it is built to feed reliably through bolt guns and semi-autos chambered for the cartridge. In our rifle ammunition lineup, this .223 WSSM loading is a confirmed, dependable choice worth adding to the cart.
