Who This Is For
This load is purpose-built for varmint and predator hunters who run .204 Ruger rifles and demand surgical precision at distance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What game is the Federal .204 Ruger 32-grain V-MAX best suited for?
This load is optimized for small to medium varmints and predators, including prairie dogs, ground squirrels, rabbits, and coyotes. The V-MAX bullet's explosive expansion delivers immediate, humane terminal performance on these animals. It is not recommended for deer-sized game, as the lightweight, frangible design is intended for varmint-class targets.
Will this ammunition work reliably in any .204 Ruger rifle?
Yes. Federal's Varmint & Predator line is manufactured to SAAMI specifications, making it compatible with any standard .204 Ruger chambered rifle. The high-quality brass cases are dimensionally consistent for reliable feeding in both bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms. Always verify your barrel's twist rate — a 1:12" twist is standard for .204 Ruger and handles 32-grain bullets excellently.
How does the V-MAX bullet perform at longer ranges compared to other varmint bullets?
The Hornady V-MAX features a high ballistic coefficient for its weight class, which helps it retain velocity and resist wind drift better than many flat-base or hollow-point varmint bullets. Combined with the .204 Ruger's inherently flat trajectory and this load's 4,100 FPS muzzle velocity, shooters can expect excellent point-of-impact consistency well past 300 yards, with the polymer tip ensuring reliable expansion even at reduced impact velocities at extended distances.
