Hornady V-MAX (22810) component bullets give reloaders the industry-leading varmint bullet for 7mm cartridges like 7mm-08 Remington, 7x57 Mauser, and 284 Winchester, combining a hard polymer tip, match-grade jacket, and swaged core to deliver explosive fragmentation and flat trajectories at ranges where most varmint bullets run out of steam. These 7mm .284 diameter 120 grain V-MAX bullets pack 100 per box and are the go-to reloading component for coyote, prairie dog, and varmint hunters who demand a fast, accurate, polymer-tipped bullet that fragments violently on impact even at low terminal velocities.

Special Features
- Hard polymer tip rests above a hollow cavity in the bullet body, and upon impact the tip shaft drives down into the core, building kinetic energy before smashing into the lead and triggering violent, explosive fragmentation even at velocities as low as 1600 fps.
- AMP match-grade jacket is precision engineered for maximum concentricity, producing consistent accuracy at all ranges while withstanding the fast rotational speeds generated by high-velocity 7mm varmint rifles.
- Swaged lead core is formed precisely up and around the polymer tip stem, creating a hollow cavity under the tip base that amplifies energy transfer and ensures complete, consistent fragmentation on every impact.
- Secant ogive profile combines the aerodynamic advantage of the sharp polymer tip with the maximum bearing surface needed for in-flight stability, producing a higher ballistic coefficient and flatter trajectory than conventional varmint bullet designs.
- Flat base design provides maximum in-flight stability for the velocity ranges and distances typical of 7mm varmint applications.
Practical Benefits
- Coyote and varmint hunters running 7mm-08 or 7x57 rifles at extended distances get a bullet with a .365 G1 ballistic coefficient that bucks wind cleanly and arrives at the target with enough velocity to fragment completely, producing clean, immediate results.
- The 1600 fps minimum expansion velocity means reloaders can push this bullet to longer ranges in slower 7mm cartridges without worrying about bullets failing to expand at reduced terminal velocities.
- Reloaders who shoot multiple 7mm platforms can build consistent, accurate loads around the Hornady V-MAX (22810) across a range of cartridges, simplifying component inventory and load development.
- Your handloads built on the Hornady V-MAX (22810) give you the same match-grade accuracy and explosive varmint performance found in factory V-MAX loaded ammunition, at a cost per round that makes high-volume varmint shooting practical.
The Hornady V-MAX (22810), a 7mm .284 diameter 120 grain polymer-tipped varmint bullet, is a proven platform and solid fit for reloaders who need a flat-shooting, explosively expanding component for high-volume 7mm varmint and predator hunting applications.
