HRNDY SF 243WIN 58GR VMAX 20/200

Description

Hornady’s Superformance Varmint load in .243 Winchester is built for hunters and precision shooters who need fast, flat-shooting performance on small targets at distance. The 58-grain V-MAX bullet is a polymer-tipped design: on impact, that tip drives inward and initiates rapid, explosive expansion even at the extended ranges where varmint shooting typically happens. Because the expansion is mechanically triggered rather than relying solely on velocity at the target, terminal performance stays consistent as range increases and velocity bleeds off.

The Superformance propellant blend is formulated to wring additional velocity out of standard-length barrels without increasing pressure beyond SAAMI specifications. That translates directly into a flatter arc downrange, which tightens the margin for error on range estimation — a real advantage when a prairie dog or ground squirrel offers a small, stationary target and no second chance. Reduced wind drift at longer distances follows from the higher velocity as well, which matters on the open ground where this type of hunting usually takes place.

The V-MAX bullet also has a ballistic coefficient of .250 (G1) and a sectional density of .140, which are useful reference points for feeding data into a ballistic calculator before a hunt rather than zeroing in the field. Hornady loads this ammunition to consistent standards, and the Superformance Varmint line is intended for bolt-action and single-shot rifles chambered in .243 Winchester. Boxes contain 20 rounds.
