Hornady 204 40gr V-Max Bullets

Hornady 204 40gr V-Max Bullets are designed for varmint shooting where accuracy, velocity and rapid expansion are important. The .204″ bullet weighs 40 grains and has a .275 G1 ballistic coefficient with a .137 sectional density. As a result, it provides a strong combination of light bullet weight and aerodynamic performance.

Why Choose Hornady 204 40gr V-Max Bullets?

The 40 grain V-MAX is a well-suited option for the .204 calibre, particularly where a combination of high velocity and aerodynamic efficiency is wanted. In addition, its .275 G1 BC helps the bullet retain velocity as range increases. Therefore, it is a practical choice for varmint shooters who want a heavier .204″ projectile.

The 40 grain weight also gives this bullet more mass than the 32 grain V-MAX. As a result, it provides a different balance of velocity, trajectory and downrange performance. However, the best bullet depends on the individual rifle, cartridge and intended application.

For reloaders, seating depth and load development should always follow current published data for the specific cartridge and rifle. Hornady provides current information through its official reloading resources.

Varmint Shooting Performance

The 40 grain V-MAX provides a heavier option within the .204 calibre V-MAX range. Furthermore, its .275 G1 BC gives the bullet useful aerodynamic efficiency for its weight.

At the same time, the bullet’s weight provides a useful balance between velocity and downrange performance. As a result, it can suit shooters looking for a heavier .204″ varmint projectile rather than the lighter 32 grain option.

The V-MAX is intended for varmint applications where rapid expansion is an important part of terminal performance. Therefore, it is well suited to suitable varmint shooting applications when matched to the rifle and cartridge.
