Hornady 22 Cal .224 53gr V-MAX Bullet Heads 100pk
These are Hornady V-MAX bullet heads in 22 calibre, sized .224in and weighing 53 grains, supplied as components for handloaders rather than as factory ammunition. The V-MAX pairs a sharp polymer tip with a thin, concentric AMP jacket and a swaged lead core, a combination built for rapid, violent expansion on impact. Drive the tip into the core and the whole bullet fragments hard, even at the lower velocities you meet further out, which is exactly what you want for clean kills on foxes, rabbits, corvids and other varmint and predator quarry. The pointed tip and streamlined profile also help keep trajectories flat and predictable across the field, so holdover stays manageable when ranges open up. As a reloading component it lets you work up an accurate, repeatable load tuned to your own rifle or pistol.

Good quality components for handloading. The bullet heads hold their shape well and perform as expected in test shots. A bit expensive per piece, but worth it for accuracy and consistency.

Used these for a recent fox hunt and saw excellent results. The bullet expanded reliably and hit the target cleanly. The packaging was secure and the quantity is sufficient for a full season of reloading.
