Description
Pinpoint accuracy and explosive terminal effect — Federal’s Varmint & Predator 223 Rem cartridge takes its job very seriously. This round’s bullet weighs only 40 grains, very lightweight for its caliber, and accordingly boasts a lightning-fast 3,800 fps muzzle velocity. So flat a trajectory is complemented tremendously by the V-MAX projectile’s sharp polymer tip, uniform swaged lead core, concentric jacket, maximum bearing surface that promotes superior in-flight stability, and ballistically efficient boat tail base.
rThe V-MAX’s tip rests on the rim of its nose cavity’s jacket and extends down into a precision formed hollow within its core. Upon impact the tip drives inward while building up staggering energy to unleash catastrophic fragmentation, precisely the sort that sends varmints and predators packing for good. Federal loaded Hornady’s deadly tack driving bullet with a high quality brass casing that would serve any handloader generously, a consistent propellant charge, and a non-corrosive Boxer primer.
