Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms is this 5.7x28mm V-MAX ammunition compatible with?
Hornady's 5.7x28mm 40 Grain V-MAX is compatible with all standard 5.7x28mm chambered firearms, including the FN PS90, FN Five-seveN pistol, Ruger-57, and similar platforms. The propellant charge and bullet seating are optimized to cycle reliably in both carbine and pistol-length actions. Always verify your specific firearm's manual for approved ammunition types before use.
Is the V-MAX bullet suitable for self-defense, or is it primarily a varmint/target round?
The V-MAX bullet features a polymer tip and boat-tail design optimized for rapid, explosive expansion at high velocities, making it highly effective for varmint hunting and providing meaningful terminal performance in a defensive context. While Hornady offers dedicated personal-defense lines, many shooters rely on the V-MAX for its consistent expansion and flat trajectory. Consider your intended use and local regulations when selecting the best load for self-defense.
How should I store unused 5.7x28mm ammunition to maintain reliability?
Store your Hornady 5.7x28mm ammunition in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperature swings. Keep rounds in the original factory box or a sealed ammo can with a desiccant pack to guard against humidity. Properly stored, modern centerfire ammunition can maintain reliable performance for decades. Avoid storing ammo near solvents, oils, or other chemicals that could degrade primer sensitivity or the cartridge case.
