Hornady 83204 Superformance Varmint 204 Ruger 32gr V-MAX Ammo

The Hornady 83204 Superformance Varmint delivers exceptional velocity and devastating terminal performance for prairie dog and ground squirrel hunting. This premium 204 Ruger ammunition combines Hornady's proprietary Superformance powder technology with the proven V-MAX bullet design to achieve velocities up to 200 fps faster than conventional loads.

What Makes This Different

Superformance powder technology generates significantly higher velocities without increasing chamber pressure beyond SAAMI specifications. The 32-grain V-MAX bullet features a polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion upon impact, creating massive wound channels in small game. Standard 204 Ruger loads typically achieve 3,900 fps muzzle velocity, while this Superformance load reaches 4,225 fps with the same 32-grain bullet weight.

Key Features

• 32-grain V-MAX bullet with polymer tip for explosive expansion
• Superformance powder delivers 4,225 fps muzzle velocity
• Match-grade brass cases for consistent ignition and accuracy
• Flat trajectory extends effective range to 400+ yards
• Optimized for bolt-action rifles with 1:12 twist rates
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
• Temperature-stable powder maintains velocity consistency

Field testing demonstrates sub-MOA accuracy in quality bolt-action rifles at 100 yards. The high velocity and flat trajectory make precise shot placement easier at extended ranges, critical for ethical varmint hunting. Wind drift remains minimal out to 300 yards due to the excellent ballistic coefficient. The V-MAX bullet design ensures immediate energy transfer, preventing wounded animals from escaping into burrows.
