Are these Hornady V-Max bullets suitable for hunting medium-to-large game like deer in Australian bush conditions?

No, these 110-grain V-Max bullets are specifically engineered for explosive terminal fragmentation on varmints and predators, meaning they lack the deep penetration and weight retention required for medium-to-large game. For hunting deer species such as fallow or sambar, you should use controlled-expansion projectiles like Hornady InterLock or CX bullets instead.

What is the minimum impact velocity required for reliable expansion and fragmentation with the Hornady .277 110 Grain V-Max?

Hornady rates the minimum reliable expansion velocity for this bullet down to 1,600 fps (~488 m/s). As long as your handloaded cartridge maintains this impact speed at your target distance, the polymer tip will reliably drive rearward into the core to initiate violent fragmentation.

Does the 110 Grain V-Max include a crimping cannelure for use in tubular or semi-automatic magazines?

Yes, Model 22721 features an integrated crimping cannelure designed to provide a secure groove for roll or taper crimping. This ensures bullet-seating security and prevents bullet setback under heavy magazine recoil or rapid cycling, making them particularly reliable for platforms like the 6.8mm Remington SPC.

Do I need any special permits or electrical compliance certifications to purchase these reloading bullets in Australia?

As unprimed, inert reloading projectile components, these bullets do not require electrical compliance certifications like SAA/RCM approvals. While they generally avoid the strict purchase permits required for completed live ammunition, you must still comply with your local state-based firearms registry rules and dealer licensing conditions regarding component supply.

270 Cal Bullets - Hornady 22721

The Hornady .270 / 6.8mm (.277) 110 Grain V-MAX® with Cannelure (MPN: 22721) is an unprimed, inert reloading rifle projectile engineered for rapid fragmentation and predator control. Designed to load into .277-calibre rifle platforms including .270 Winchester, 6.8mm Remington SPC, .270 WSM, and .270 Weatherby Magnum, this bullet features a hard polymer tip resting over a hollow cavity within a swaged lead core. On target impact, the polymer tip drives into the core to trigger rapid terminal expansion and violent fragmentation at impact speeds down to 1,600 fps (~488 m/s).

AMP® Jacket Construction: Features Advanced Manufacturing Process concentric jackets with virtually zero wall-thickness variation to maintain match-grade accuracy.
Integrated Crimping Cannelure: Built-in groove accommodates roll or taper crimping to secure bullet seating and prevent projectile setback under magazine recoil.
Aerodynamic Ballistic Profile: Combines a streamlined polymer tip and flat base/boat-tail hybrid profile to yield a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.370 and a sectional density of 0.205.
Varmint Terminal Performance: Delivers explosive disruption across an overall bullet length of approximately 1.045 inches (~26.54 mm) without requiring heavy game penetration.

Who is the Hornady .277 270 Cal 110 Grain V-Max Bullets With Cannelure 100 Pack for?

Varmint and predator hunters using .270 Winchester or 6.8mm SPC rifles — Delivers explosive terminal fragmentation from a .277 in bullet diameter that retains expanding capability down to an impact velocity of 1,600 fps across medium-to-long engagement ranges.
Handloaders seeking polymer-tipped varmint projectiles with a crimping cannelure — Features an integrated cannelure groove paired with a 110 grain bullet weight to ensure stable crimping and consistent seating depth against recoil in tubular or box magazines.

Less suitable for: Medium-to-large game hunting (such as fallow, red, or sambar deer) where terminal penetration and weight retention are critical; hunters pursuing larger species should use controlled-expansion or bonded hunting bullets designed for controlled weight retention rather than rapid-fragmentation varmint bullets.
