Black Hills Ammunition - V-MAX - 60 Grain 223 Remington Ammo - 500 Rounds

Black Hills Ammunition supplies the most discerning shooters in the world. The heads of research and development of several major firearms manufacturers turn to Black Hills for their ammo, as do many U.S. Military rifleman teams. Black Hills owes their success to their unerring attention to detail, which includes the selection of the finest components available. This 223 Rem cartridge’s 60 grain V-MAX, Hornady’s famous varmint hunting bullet, exemplifies this.

This round’s bullet sports a polymer tip. It creates a centered and aerodynamic meplat, but it’s what the polymer tip does during impact that makes it most interesting. The tip extends deep down into the swaged lead core, stopping just short of touching it. As the V-MAX enters its target, its tip accumulates tremendous energy before contacting the core. At that instant the tip triggers explosive fragmentation to send smaller game flying in several directions at once.

The V-MAX further features Hornady’s Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket, as concentric as can be to promote stellar rotational stability. The V-MAX’s uniform core keeps it even better balanced, and its streamlined overall profile enhances its ballistic coefficient. This round sends its bullet out of the muzzle at 3,150 fps, yet the V-MAX needs to travel at only about 1,600 fps to deliver its catastrophic terminal effect.

This round brings it all together with a precision brass shell casing, sensitive and non-corrosive primer, and fast and clean burning propellant. It should be a crime not to reload this round’s brass, or at least save it for someone who can.
