HSM’s Varmint line in 223 WSSM (brand part no. 223WSSM-1-N) loads a 55-grain V-Max bullet for shooters running the short, fat Winchester Super Short Magnum case built to push standard .224-caliber bullets faster than a conventional .223. 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 consistent, non-corrosive components. Reloadable brass cases and boxer priming mean handloaders can recover and reuse the brass after a day thinning the varmint population. For 223 WSSM shooters who want a fast-expanding bullet that puts varmints down for good, this rifle ammunition is built for exactly that job.
