Hornady 243 Cal 6mm 58gr V-MAX

The Hornady 243 Cal 6mm 58gr V-MAX represents what a specialized varmint bullet can achieve, offering straight-line trajectories, enhanced accuracy, dramatic expansion, and explosive fragmentation at wide distances and velocities. Designed with a precise .243″ diameter, this 6mm bullet delivers outstanding ballistic performance and terminal energy, making it a top-tier choice for precision varmint shooters and high-volume range use.

POLYMER TIP
The secret to the explosive terminal performance of the V-MAX is a hollow cavity resting between the tip’s shaft and the body of the bullet. Upon impact, the hard shaft builds up speed and energy before driving into the core, causing the entire package to rapidly expand into violent fragmentation, even at low terminal velocities.

HIGHER BALLISTIC COEFFICIENT
Hornady combines the sharp, pointed polymer tip with the most aerodynamic profile for a high ballistic coefficient. The V-MAX profile also provides the maximum bearing surface for added in-flight stability and consistent downrange accuracy.

SWAGED LEAD CORE
The swaging process allows precise formation of the core up and around the tip, with a cavity under the tip’s stem. This design enables the tip to build energy before smashing into the core, causing dramatic fragmentation of the lead and copper jacket.

PRECISE BOATTAIL & FLATBASE DESIGNS
Depending on caliber and application, Hornady engineers apply either a boattail or flat base to optimize in-flight balance and improve stability over extended distances, giving varmint hunters the confidence to take long-range shots.
