Red Earth Ammo 55gr Hornady V-Max .223 REM Centrefire Ammo 1000 Round Slab Key Features
- Hornady V-MAX Projectile: The 55 grain polymer-tipped V-MAX bullet is engineered for rapid, explosive expansion and reliable fragmentation on impact — ideal for varmint hunting and pest control where clean, decisive terminal performance is essential.
- Muzzle Velocity: Rated at 3,240 fps (987 m/s), this load drives a flat trajectory that aids holdover consistency and extends effective range, particularly important when shooting across open paddocks or varied terrain.
- Armscor Brass Cases: Cases are sourced from Armscor, a manufacturer known for consistent dimensional tolerances. Brass construction means cases are reloadable for those who want to extend value further.
- CCI Primers: CCI primers are widely regarded as among the most consistent and reliable in the industry, delivering clean, sure ignition and dependable cycling across a broad range of conditions and rifle platforms.
- Tight Loading Tolerances: Loaded to fine factory tolerances, this ammunition is capable of sub-MOA performance in suitable rifles — meaning consistent groupings, predictable point of impact, and less variability shot to shot.
- Boxer Primed: Boxer primer configuration makes spent cases straightforward to deprime and reload, a practical advantage when shooting in high volumes.
- 1,000 Round Slab: Packaged as a full 1,000 round slab, this format suits high-volume shooters, station managers, and anyone running extended pest control programs who need to minimise downtime spent sourcing more stock.
- Calibre: Chambered in .223 REM, one of the most widely used centrefire cartridges in Australia for varminting, fox shooting, rabbit control, and range target shooting.
- Manufactured in the USA: Produced in the United States under the Red Earth Varminter product line, purpose-built with the conditions and requirements of Australian hunters and pest controllers in mind.
For licensed hunters, pest controllers, and range shooters who demand reliable performance round after round, the Red Earth 55gr V-MAX in .223 REM is a serious high-volume option that doesn't ask you to choose between quality and quantity. A 1,000 round slab keeps you in the field and on the trigger without compromise.
What's included in a 1000-round slab of Red Earth Ammo, and how is it packaged?
Each slab contains 1000 rounds of .223 REM ammunition loaded with 55gr Hornady V-MAX projectiles. The bulk quantity is suited to high-volume shooters who want to stock up for regular range sessions, varmint hunting, or pest control work without constantly reordering. It's a cost-effective format for shooters who go through ammunition at pace.
What bullet type does this ammunition use, and what does that mean for performance?
This ammunition uses the Hornady V-MAX, a polymer-tipped projectile designed for rapid expansion and explosive fragmentation on impact. The tip initiates consistent expansion at a wide range of distances, making it well suited to varmint hunting and pest control. It's also known for flat trajectories and reliable accuracy, with sub-MOA capability in suitable rifles.
What components are used in the construction of this ammunition?
Red Earth loads these rounds with Hornady V-MAX projectiles, Armscor brass cases, and CCI primers. The boxer-primed brass cases are reloadable for those who reload. Components are assembled to tight tolerances for factory ammunition, supporting consistent ignition, reliable cycling in .223 REM rifles, and repeatable accuracy across the slab.
Is this ammunition suitable for Australian hunters and pest controllers?
Yes — Red Earth's Varminter line is specifically designed with Australian hunters and pest controllers in mind. The 55gr V-MAX load offers the flat trajectory, explosive terminal performance, and shot-to-shot consistency needed for effective varminting and pest control at varying field distances. It's also suitable for general field use and range shooting.
