Deep Dive
Overview
Hornady Varmint Express ammunition is specifically manufactured to meet the demands of varmint hunters who need speed, precision, and impact. The 22-250 Remington cartridge is known for its flat shooting trajectory, making it a favorite among shooters targeting small game from a distance. The 50-grain V-Max bullet is engineered for explosive expansion, transferring energy effectively and leading to instant incapacitation of targets. This product line is intended for hunters aiming to control pest populations in agricultural, rural, and forest environments with minimal pelt damage, ensuring ethical harvesting practices.
History and Development
Developed by Hornady, a brand famed for its innovative and precise ammunition, the Varmint Express line represents the culmination of decades of ballistic research and development.

Evolving through the years, Hornady has consistently improved their designs to enhance velocity, accuracy, and reliability. The V-Max bullet's hollow cavity and polymer tip represent Hornady’s dedication to incorporating modern ballistic trends that optimize terminal performance.
