HSM Varmint ammunition in .223 Remington (brand part no. HSM-223-15) is a flat-shooting varmint load for long shots on small, fast targets. HSM backs this load with the quality control shooters expect from a name they already trust. At the heart of this load is the 55 gr bullet with a hornady v-max design, matched to the .223 Remington platform shooters already run. In our rifle ammunition lineup, this is the HSM load built for that job.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .223 Remington, a caliber built to reach out on prairie dogs and coyotes alike.

• The projectile is a Hornady V-Max design, built to open up fast for varmint work.

• This is a centerfire cartridge, ignited by a replaceable primer rather than a rimfire priming ring.
