The Hornady 83202 Varmint Express delivers exceptional accuracy and devastating terminal performance for varmint hunters demanding precision at extended ranges. This 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire ammunition features the proven V-MAX bullet design that has established itself as the gold standard for small game elimination.
What Makes This Different
The polymer-tipped V-MAX bullet creates rapid expansion upon impact while maintaining trajectory stability throughout its flight path. Unlike standard hollow point rounds that can clog with debris, the polymer tip ensures consistent expansion regardless of conditions. The 30-grain bullet weight provides optimal velocity retention at distances where lighter projectiles begin to lose effectiveness.
Key Features
- 30-grain V-MAX bullet with polymer tip for rapid, controlled expansion
- 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire chambering for extended effective range
- Match-grade brass cases engineered for consistent ignition and extraction
- Optimized powder charge delivering maximum velocity with minimal pressure variation
- 50 rounds per box packaging for extended shooting sessions
- Case quantity of 40 boxes (2,000 total rounds) for bulk purchasing
- Hornady's quality control standards ensuring lot-to-lot consistency
Field testing demonstrates this ammunition's capability to maintain sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles at 100 yards. The high velocity achieved by the 22 WMR cartridge combined with the aerodynamic V-MAX design extends effective range significantly beyond standard 22 LR ammunition. Prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and similar-sized varmints are dispatched cleanly with minimal pelt damage when shot placement is precise.
