Hornady 223 WSSM 55gr V-MAX Ammunition - 20 Rounds

The Hornady 223 WSSM 55gr V-MAX ammunition delivers exceptional velocity and precision for varmint hunting and target shooting. This specialized cartridge maximizes the 223 Winchester Super Short Magnum's potential with carefully matched components and proven bullet technology.

What Makes This Different

The 223 WSSM pushes the 55-grain V-MAX bullet to velocities exceeding 3,850 fps, significantly faster than standard 223 Remington loads. Hornady's polymer tip design initiates rapid expansion on impact while maintaining accuracy at extended ranges. The short magnum case design provides increased powder capacity in a compact package that fits standard short-action rifles.

Key Features

• 55-grain V-MAX bullet with polymer tip for explosive expansion
• Muzzle velocity of approximately 3,850 fps
• Match-grade brass cases for consistent performance
• Optimized powder charge for maximum velocity
• Streamlined boat-tail design for superior ballistic coefficient
• Compatible with 223 WSSM chamber specifications
• 20 rounds per box for extended shooting sessions

This ammunition excels in prairie dog hunting, coyote control, and precision target work where flat trajectory matters. The high velocity maintains energy downrange while the V-MAX bullet ensures reliable terminal performance on varmints. Consistent case dimensions and quality control standards support sub-MOA accuracy potential in suitable rifles.
