Are these Hornady 110 grain V-MAX bullets suitable for hunting medium-to-large game like deer or feral pigs in the Australian bush?

No, these bullets are designed exclusively for thin-skinned varmints and small predators such as foxes, wild dogs, and rabbits. Their rapid explosive fragmentation prevents the deep penetration required for ethically taking medium-to-large game like deer or pigs.

What is the minimum impact velocity required for these 30-cal bullets to ensure proper explosive expansion?

Hornady specifies that an impact velocity of at least 1,600 feet per second is necessary to initiate the rapid expansion and explosive fragmentation of the polymer-tipped design. Because of their low G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.290, they are best optimised for close-to-moderate shooting distances typically under 300 metres.

Do I need a firearms licence to purchase these component bullets from XHunter in Australia?

Yes, while component bullets are unprimed and non-explosive, their purchase and possession are regulated by state and territory firearms registries in Australia. Depending on your jurisdiction, you will generally need to provide an appropriate Category A or B firearms licence to complete the purchase.

What cartridge cases work well with these 110 grain projectiles for handloading?

These .308-inch diameter bullets are ideally suited for reloading popular .308-bore cartridges such as .300 AAC Blackout and .308 Winchester, allowing handloaders to develop light-recoil target or fast varmint loads. To set up your press effectively for these components, pairing them with reliable tools like the Lee Precision 90045 Reloader Single Stage Press and Hornady Lock-N-Load bushings ensures a smooth reloading workflow.

V-MAX Bullets - Hornady 23010

The Hornady .308 30 Cal 110 Grain V-Max is an unprimed reloading component projectile engineered for match-grade accuracy and explosive fragmentation on small pests and predators. Designed for handloaders working with .308-bore cartridges such as .300 AAC Blackout, .308 Winchester, and .30-06 Springfield, this bullet combines an aerodynamic polymer tip with a swaged lead core and a precision-drawn gilding metal jacket. On impact, the polymer tip acts as a wedge, driving into the hollow cavity beneath to create violent terminal expansion, provided impact velocity remains at or above 1,600 fps.

Key Features

Engineered Terminal Fragmentation: The polymer meplat is seated directly above an engineered hollow cavity within the lead core, driving rapid, explosive fragmentation upon impact.
AMP Bullet Jacket: Built with Hornady Advanced Manufacturing Process (AMP) gilding metal jackets that feature virtually zero wall-thickness variation for concentricity and tight group dispersion.
Flat Base Profile: Features a flat base design measuring approximately 0.926 inches in overall length, providing reliable stability and easy seating depth management during handloading.
Wide Cartridge Compatibility: Suited for loading across multiple .30-calibre platforms, including full-power varmint rounds in .308 Winchester and high-velocity setups in .300 AAC Blackout.

Who is the Hornady .308 30 Cal 110 Grain V-Max Bullets 100 Pack for?

Varmint and pest control hunters — Requires explosive terminal expansion on foxes, wild dogs, and rabbits at distances under 300 metres, facilitated by a lightweight 110-grain profile that delivers rapid fragmentation down to an impact velocity of 1,600 fps.
Handloaders developing reduced-recoil loads — Needs an efficient, flat-shooting projectile for .300 Blackout or light-recoil .308 Winchester target handloads, leveraging a compact 0.308 in diameter flat-base design with a 0.290 G1 ballistic coefficient for minimal recoil and flat short-to-moderate-range trajectories.

Less suitable for: Medium-to-large game such as deer, pigs, or goats, as the low 0.166 sectional density and violent fragmentation prevent deep organ penetration; heavier controlled-expansion hunting projectiles with bonded cores or monolithic copper construction are required instead. It is also less optimal for extended long-range shooting beyond 300 metres due to its 0.290 G1 ballistic coefficient.
