The Hornady Varmint Express .22-250 Rem 50gr V-Max (brand part no. 8336) pairs a flat-shooting varmint cartridge with one of the most respected polymer-tip bullets on the market. Hornady builds the V-Max bullet with a streamlined design that delivers a high ballistic coefficient, resists wind drift, and holds tack-driving accuracy at practical hunting ranges. The gilding metal jacket, lead core, and polymer tip combine to initiate expansion from the inside out, causing rapid fragmentation on impact. In rifle ammunition for varmint and predator hunting, this is the .22-250 load built to end the problem in one shot.
