The Hornady .243 6mm 75 Grain V-Max Bullets 100 Pack consists of component projectiles engineered for handloading high-velocity varmint and predator hunting ammunition. Designed with a streamlined polymer tip and a boat tail profile, these projectiles feature an internal air cavity situated directly beneath the polymer shaft. Upon target impact, the hard tip drives rearward into the swaged lead core, producing violent fragmentation and maximum hydrostatic shock. Constructed with Hornady's AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) gilding metal jackets, these bullets ensure concentricity and near-zero wall thickness variation to maintain flat trajectories and consistent match-grade accuracy at practical hunting ranges.

Key Features

• Rapid Fragmentation Design: The polymer tip initiates violent disruption on impact by driving into the swaged lead core, delivering expansive fragmentation across target animals.
• Concentric AMP Jacket: Features an Advanced Manufacturing Process copper-alloy jacket with virtually zero wall-thickness variation, providing uniform flight stability and consistent group sizes.
• Aerodynamic Boat Tail Base: Combines a sharp polymer point with a boat-tail base to achieve a 0.330 G1 ballistic coefficient for reduced aerodynamic drag and flatter trajectory.
• Cartridge Versatility: Sized for standard 6mm / .243 in rifle bores, suitable for loading into cartridges including .243 Winchester, 6mm Creedmoor, 6mm Remington, and 6mm ARC.

Who is the Hornady .243 6mm 75 Grain V-Max Bullets 100 Pack for?

• Varmint control shooters — requires the 75-grain bullet weight and polymer tip design to initiate rapid explosive fragmentation on small pests weighing under 50 lbs (23 kg).
• Predator hunters — utilises the flat-shooting 0.330 G1 ballistic coefficient in 6mm / .243 in calibre rifles to minimise wind drift when culling wild dogs, feral cats, and foxes out to 300–500 metres.

Less suitable for: Medium-to-large game weighing over 50 lbs (such as fallow, red, or sambar deer, or mature feral pigs), as the light 75-grain fragile jacket produces rapid shallow disruption rather than deep penetration; hunters pursuing larger animals require controlled-expansion hunting projectiles. It is also less suitable for extreme-range engagements where terminal velocity drops below the 1,600 fps expansion floor, where heavier high-BC projectiles are better suited.
