Hornady 83206 Superformance Varmint 204 Ruger 40gr V-MAX Ammo

The Hornady 83206 Superformance Varmint ammunition delivers exceptional velocity and devastating terminal performance for precision varmint hunting. This 204 Ruger cartridge combines Hornady's proprietary Superformance propellant technology with the proven V-MAX bullet design to achieve velocities up to 200 fps faster than conventional ammunition.

What Makes This Different

Superformance technology utilizes progressive propellants that increase velocity without exceeding standard pressure limits or reducing barrel life. The 40-grain V-MAX bullet features a polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion upon impact, creating massive energy transfer and immediate incapacitation of prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and other varmints. This combination delivers flatter trajectory and increased downrange energy compared to standard varmint loads.

Key Features

• 40-grain V-MAX bullet with polymer tip for rapid expansion
• Superformance propellant increases velocity up to 200 fps over standard loads
• Muzzle velocity of 4,225 fps with 1,586 ft-lbs of energy
• Match-grade brass cases with consistent wall thickness
• Boat-tail design improves ballistic coefficient and accuracy
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
• Optimized for bolt-action and single-shot rifles

Field performance demonstrates sub-MOA accuracy potential in quality rifles, with the high velocity maintaining lethal energy at extended ranges. The V-MAX bullet construction ensures complete fragmentation on varmint-sized targets while the boat-tail design reduces wind drift for precise shot placement. Temperature-stable propellants maintain consistent performance across seasonal hunting conditions, from early spring prairie dog shoots to late-season predator calling.
