Who This Is For
This ammunition is purpose-built for varmint hunters and predator callers who rely on the 22 Hornet for clean, efficient kills on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, coyotes, and similar small targets. It's equally well-suited for competitive small-bore rifle shooters who want match-level accuracy from a factory load.

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 the moment it contacts the target — even at lower impact velocities. Unlike traditional soft points, the tip resists deformation in the magazine and during feeding, preserving the bullet's ballistic coefficient for a flatter, more predictable trajectory. The result is explosive terminal performance that minimizes the chance of wounded game escaping.
What firearms are chambered for 22 Hornet and compatible with this ammunition?
The 22 Hornet is a classic centerfire cartridge chambered in a wide variety of bolt-action, single-shot, and lever-action rifles. Popular platforms include the Ruger No. 1, CZ 527, Savage Model 25, and many custom and semi-custom actions. Always verify your specific rifle's chamber specifications and twist rate with the manufacturer, and ensure your firearm is rated for the 3,100 fps muzzle velocity this load produces.
How should I store unused Hornady Varmint Express ammunition to maintain its performance?
Store your Hornady ammunition in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and humidity. A dedicated ammo can or storage box with a desiccant pack is ideal for long-term preservation. Properly stored, factory ammunition can maintain its performance characteristics for many years. Always keep ammunition locked away from children and separated from any ignition sources.
