The Hornady® 17 Cal. V-MAX® bullet is a masterclass in precision engineering and ballistic performance, designed for those who demand excellence in their long-range shooting endeavors.
Aerodynamics and Impact Precision
This projectile features a polymer tip that not only increases the ballistic coefficient but also ensures dramatic expansion upon impact, even at velocities as low as 1600 fps. This dual function makes it an ideal choice for shooters seeking both accuracy and terminal performance.
Sophisticated Design Elements
The sharp pointed polymer tip combines with an aerodynamic profile to deliver a high ballistic coefficient. This design maximizes bearing surface area, enhancing stability during flight—a critical factor when engaging targets at extended distances.
Cores Built for Performance
The swaged lead core is meticulously formed around the tip's cavity, allowing energy buildup before impacting the core itself. Upon contact, this results in profound fragmentation of both core and jacket—an essential feature for effective varmint control or other applications requiring rapid energy transfer upon target engagement.
Diverse Base Designs for Stability
The versatility of Hornady's precise boattail and flat base designs provides incredible stability across various shooting scenarios. Each base type is optimized to maintain trajectory integrity over long ranges, ensuring that your shots land where intended with unwavering reliability.
If you're looking to elevate your marksmanship with ammunition engineered to perform beyond expectations, consider adding Hornady's V-MAX line to your arsenal—the embodiment of innovation meeting tradition on every shot fired downrange.
