HORNADY 243 WIN - 58 GR - V-MAX - 20 RDS/BOX
The Hornady Superformance Varmint .243 Winchester 58 Grain V-MAX delivers an extraordinary combination of velocity, accuracy, and explosive terminal performance, making it one of the most effective varmint rounds on the market today.
- Screaming 3,925 fps muzzle velocity for flat, fast varmint takedowns
- Superformance propellant boosts velocity 100–200 fps over standard loads
- 58 Grain V-MAX bullet engineered for rapid, violent fragmentation on impact
- Polymer tip initiates expansion precisely and consistently at all ranges
- Reduced wind drift and flatter trajectory extend effective shooting distance
- Compatible with all .243 Winchester rifles — no modifications required
Who This Is For
This ammunition is purpose-built for varmint hunters and predator callers who demand maximum velocity and explosive terminal results on small targets like prairie dogs, ground squirrels, foxes, and coyotes. It's equally at home on the competition bench for shooters who need consistent, high-performance .243 Win loads across varying conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the V-MAX bullet better for varmint hunting than a standard soft point?
The V-MAX features a precision polymer tip that initiates rapid, consistent expansion on impact — even at longer ranges where velocity has dropped. The boat-tail base and secant ogive profile also improve ballistic coefficient, resulting in less drop and wind drift downrange compared to traditional soft-point designs. The result is near-explosive fragmentation that is devastating on small varmints without over-penetration concerns.
Will Superformance Varmint ammunition work in my standard .243 Winchester rifle?
Yes. Hornady Superformance Varmint ammunition is loaded to SAAMI-standard pressures and is fully compatible with any .243 Winchester chambered firearm in good working condition. The velocity gains over standard loads are achieved through advanced propellant formulations, not higher pressure, so no modifications to your rifle are needed.
Is the 58 Grain V-MAX suitable for longer-range varmint shooting?
Absolutely. The combination of the 58 Grain V-MAX bullet's high ballistic coefficient and the 3,925 fps muzzle velocity from Superformance propellant makes this load an excellent choice for extended-range varmint work. Shooters can expect a flatter trajectory and less wind sensitivity compared to heavier .243 loads, maintaining reliable terminal performance at distances commonly encountered in open-country varmint hunting.
