The Hornady V-MAX 7mm .284 120 grain bullets deliver explosive expansion and pinpoint accuracy for varmint hunting and precision shooting applications. These polymer-tipped projectiles feature Hornady's proven V-MAX design that combines match-grade construction with devastating terminal performance on small to medium game.
What Makes This Different
The V-MAX bullet design incorporates a sharp polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion upon impact while maintaining aerodynamic efficiency during flight. Unlike traditional hollow point bullets, the polymer tip prevents deformation in the magazine and creates consistent ballistic coefficients. This results in flatter trajectories and more predictable wind drift compared to standard soft point ammunition.
Key Features
- 120 grain weight optimized for 7mm (.284) caliber rifles
- Polymer tip design ensures reliable expansion at various velocities
- Match-grade jacket construction with concentricity tolerances under 0.0003"
- Streamlined boat-tail base reduces drag and improves long-range accuracy
- Lead core mechanically locked to jacket prevents separation
- Ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.370 for superior downrange performance
- 100 bullets per box with consistent weight sorting
These bullets excel in applications requiring rapid expansion and energy transfer, making them ideal for prairie dog hunting, coyote control, and competitive varmint shooting. The 120 grain weight provides sufficient sectional density for reliable penetration while maintaining the explosive characteristics that make V-MAX bullets effective on thin-skinned game. Weather conditions have minimal impact on performance due to the aerodynamic polymer tip design.
