FIOCCHI 223REM 40GR VMAX 50/1000

Description

Fiocchi’s Field Dynamics line puts serious varmint ammunition in the hands of hunters and precision shooters who want factory loads built around proven projectiles rather than commodity bullets. This .223 Rem loading is purpose-built for varmint work, pairing a 40-grain Hornady V-Max with a brass case, quality powder, and reliable primer in a 50-round box.

The V-Max bullet is Hornady’s polymer-tipped varmint design. The tip initiates rapid, consistent expansion on impact even at the velocities a .223 chamber produces at distance, which matters when you are shooting prairie dogs or ground squirrels where explosive energy transfer — not pass-through penetration — is the goal. At 40 grains, this projectile is on the lighter end for .223, and that weight trades a modest ballistic coefficient of .200 for a flat, fast trajectory over shorter varmint ranges where wind drift is manageable and terminal performance takes priority over long-range stability.

Muzzle velocity is rated at 3,650 fps, which gives the round a low-arc flight path that simplifies holds at typical varmint distances. The brass cases are reloadable, so handloaders can recycle them once the factory load has done its work. Fiocchi loads and tests this ammunition to perform consistently across temperature extremes — relevant for hunters who run early-morning sessions in cold conditions or mid-summer afternoon shoots where heat affects powder burn rates.

Available in boxes of 50 or cases of 1,000, this load suits both the occasional varmint hunter stocking a single box and the high-volume shooter who burns through rounds during a dedicated prairie dog trip.
