HORNADY 22440 V-MAX 6MM .243 87 GRAIN 100 CNT

Hornady V-Max component bullets in 6mm .243 caliber at 87 grains (22440) are a purpose-built varmint projectile designed for reloaders who want explosive terminal performance and match-grade accuracy from 6mm rifles. These flat-shooting 6mm varmint reloading bullets for cartridges like the .243 Winchester and 6mm Creedmoor come in a 100-count box and deliver reliable expansion down to 1,600 fps.

Key Features

• Manufacturer part number: 22440
• Caliber: 6mm, .243 diameter
• Bullet weight: 87 grains
• Bullet type: V-Max polymer tip, boattail design
• G1 ballistic coefficient: 0.400
• Sectional density: 0.210
• Minimum expansion velocity: 1,600 fps
• Jacket material: Copper gilding metal, AMP match-grade construction
• Core material: Swaged lead
• Count per box: 100
• Application: Varmint hunting

Special Features

• The polymer tip sits over a hollow cavity that stores energy on impact before driving into the core, triggering violent jacket-core fragmentation even at lower terminal velocities.
• Hornady swages the lead core precisely up and around the tip stem, creating uniform mass distribution that produces consistent energy transfer and expansion shot to shot.
• The AMP match-grade gilding metal jacket is manufactured to tight concentricity tolerances, delivering the uniform wall thickness that drives accuracy at all ranges.
• A G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.400 gives the 87-grain V-Max an aerodynamic advantage that reduces wind drift and flattens trajectory compared to lower-BC bullets in the same weight class.
• The maximum bearing surface design built into the V-Max boattail profile adds in-flight stability without sacrificing the speed needed for long-range varmint work.

Practical Benefits

• These bullets are compatible with a wide range of 6mm cartridges including the .243 Winchester, 6mm Remington, 6mm Creedmoor, and 6mm ARC, giving you a single component that works across multiple rifles in your battery.
• The 87-grain weight hits a balance point between velocity and stability that makes these bullets ideal for open-field varmint hunting where shots can stretch from close range out past 400 yards.
• The explosive fragmentation design reduces over-penetration and limits ricochet risk, making these a sound choice for varmint control in areas where multiple shooters or livestock may be present.
• The 100-count box gives you enough bullets to develop a precise handload and stockpile proven components for a full hunting season without repeated reorders.
• If you are a dedicated varmint hunter or competitive reloader building loads around a 6mm platform, the consistent quality of the Hornady V-Max (22440) means your groups stay tight and your terminal results stay predictable.

The Hornady V-Max 6mm .243 87 Grain (22440) is a dependable option for the serious varmint hunter and handloader looking for a proven platform in the 6mm bullet category.
