The Hornady Superformance Varmint .222 Remington 50gr V-Max (Hornady part no. 8316) is a .222 Remington load built around a 50-grain V-Max for varmint and predator hunting. Hornady builds this load for flat trajectories and violent, explosive expansion on varmints. At these velocities the V-Max fragments explosively, which is exactly the terminal effect a varmint hunter wants. In rifle ammunition, this is the load for a long afternoon on the prairie dog town or coyote stand.
