The Federal V204VM32 Varmint & Predator ammunition delivers devastating terminal performance on small game and varmints with its 32-grain Hornady V-Max bullet design. This 204 Ruger cartridge combines Federal's precision manufacturing with Hornady's polymer-tipped projectile technology for exceptional accuracy and explosive expansion.
What Makes This Different
The Hornady V-Max bullet features a polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion upon impact, creating massive wound channels in varmints while maintaining flat trajectory characteristics. Federal's quality control processes ensure consistent powder charges and primer ignition across every round. The 204 Ruger caliber provides significantly higher velocities than traditional varmint cartridges, with muzzle velocities exceeding 4,000 feet per second.
