The Hornady 25 Cal 75gr V-MAX is a high-performance bullet component built for handloaders seeking exceptional expansion, flat trajectory, and rapid terminal impact in .25‑caliber rifles. Weighing 75gr with a .257‑inch diameter, the 25 Cal 75gr V‑MAX features Hornady’s polymer-tip V‑MAX design combined with a boat-tail base, delivering explosive fragmentation and minimal wind drift for precise varmint and predator control.

Engineered with a polymer-tip and streamlined secant ogive profile, the 25 Cal 75gr V‑MAX achieves a high G1 ballistic coefficient, maintaining velocity and accuracy at distances up to 300 yards. The polymer tip initiates rapid tip-forward expansion, creating clean, predictable fragmentation with minimal pelt damage. The 25 Cal 75gr V‑MAX is ideal for prairie dogs, coyotes, groundhogs, and other small-game targets.

The Hornady 25 Cal 75gr V‑MAX stabilizes efficiently in barrels with twist rates of 1:9 to 1:10 and performs well in bolt-action and semi-auto platforms. Its boat-tail design enhances aerodynamic efficiency and downrange stability. When loaded carefully, the 25 Cal 75gr V‑MAX delivers consistent feeding, tight group performance, and reliable terminal effects across a variety of .25‑caliber rifles.

In field use, the Hornady 25 Cal 75gr V‑MAX produces explosive impact with rapid fragmentation, opening quick wound channels while minimizing over-penetration. This bullet’s high-vis polymer tip offers positive ignition and consistent meplat formation, ensuring the 25 Cal 75gr V‑MAX remains accurate and effective across varying ranges and habitat conditions.

Manufactured in Hornady’s Grand Island, Nebraska facility, the 25 Cal 75gr V‑MAX is sold as a bullet component only. Reloaders must supply compatible brass, powder, and primers. With Hornady’s quality-controlled production ensuring tip concentricity, jacket integrity, and consistent weight, the 25 Cal 75gr V‑MAX provides dependable accuracy, rapid terminal expansion, and high ballistic performance in the .25‑caliber varmint hunting class.
