Built for varmint hunters and pest control shooters who demand consistent, explosive terminal performance, the Hornady 22 CAL .224 35 GR V-MAX Projectile - 100pk is one of the most trusted reloading projectiles in its class. At just 35 grains, this flat base polymer tip bullet is engineered for screaming velocities and flat trajectories across a wide muzzle velocity range of 1,500 to 4,400 fps, making it well suited to cartridges like the .22 Hornet and a broad range of standard varmint chamberings. Hornady's V-MAX line is purpose built around the idea that accuracy and terminal performance are not a compromise, and the design of this projectile reflects that philosophy at every level. These are reloading components only and are sold in a convenient 100-round pack, ideal for handloaders looking to develop precision loads for their varmint or pest control rifles.

Hornady 22 CAL .224 35 GR V-MAX Projectile - 100pk Key Features

  • Bullet Diameter: 0.224 inches (5.69mm), compatible with standard .22 calibre rifle chambers including the .22 Hornet and other common varmint cartridges.
  • Bullet Weight: 35 grains (2.27g), a lightweight profile that supports high velocities and flat trajectories ideal for varminting and pest control at extended ranges.
  • Red Polymer Tip: Hornady's distinctive red polymer tip improves the ballistic coefficient, enhances in-flight accuracy, and acts as a mechanical wedge on impact to initiate rapid, reliable expansion even at velocities as low as 1,600 fps (488 m/s).
  • G1 Ballistic Coefficient: 0.109, a figure that reflects the projectile's ability to overcome air resistance in flight. At this weight and profile, it supports the fast, flat shooting characteristics expected from a dedicated varmint projectile.
  • Sectional Density: 0.100, indicating the bullet's mass relative to its cross-sectional area. This contributes to the projectile's in-flight stability and terminal performance at the velocities typical of .22 calibre varmint loads.
  • AMP® Bullet Jacket: Hornady's Match Grade AMP® (Advanced Manufacturing Process) copper jacket is manufactured to tight concentricity tolerances, providing consistent bearing surface contact for maximum accuracy across all ranges and the structural integrity to handle the fast twist rates of modern varmint rifles.
  • Swaged Lead Core: The precision swaging process forms the lead core up and around the polymer tip's stem, creating a cavity beneath the tip. On impact, the tip compresses into this cavity, building energy before smashing into the core and driving dramatic, consistent fragmentation.
  • Bullet Style: Polymer Tip Flat Base, a profile that maximises bearing surface contact with the bore for added in-flight stability and is well suited to the shorter barrel lengths common in varmint and pest control rifles.
  • Explosive Fragmentation: Engineered for dramatic, rapid expansion across a wide velocity range, making this projectile effective at both close and extended distances typical of foxing, rabbit, and other varmint or pest control work.
  • Quantity Per Pack: 100 projectiles per pack, giving handloaders a solid batch for load development and range work.
  • Country of Origin: United States of America.

For handloaders chasing precision and decisive terminal results on varmint and pest species, the Hornady V-MAX in .224 35 grain delivers a well-engineered combination of accuracy, high-velocity performance, and explosive expansion that has made it a staple on Australian varminting ranges and properties for good reason.

What bullet weight and diameter are these Hornady V-MAX projectiles?

These projectiles weigh 35 grains and measure 0.224 inches in diameter, making them suitable for .22 calibre rifle chambers including the .22 Hornet and other standard varmint cartridges. Always confirm your specific chamber and twist rate compatibility before loading.

What makes the polymer tip on the V-MAX different from a standard hollow point?

The red polymer tip acts as a wedge that builds up energy on impact before driving into the swaged lead core, causing dramatic fragmentation. It also improves the ballistic coefficient and initiates expansion at velocities as low as 1600 fps — lower than many comparable varmint bullets require.

Are these projectiles suitable for fast-twist varmint rifles?

Yes, the copper AMP® jacket is specifically built to withstand the fast twist rates found in modern varmint rifles. The match-grade jacket concentricity also helps maintain accuracy and in-flight stability across the supported muzzle velocity range of 1500 to 4400 fps.

How many projectiles are included, and are these loaded rounds or reloading components?

Each pack contains 100 projectiles. These are reloading components only — they are not loaded ammunition. You'll need to seat them into your own prepared brass cases with appropriate powder charges and primers to produce finished cartridges.
