Hornady 6mm 87gr V-Max Bullets

Hornady 6mm 87gr V-Max Bullets are designed for varmint shooting where accuracy and rapid expansion are important. The .243″ bullet weighs 87 grains and has a .400 G1 ballistic coefficient with a .210 sectional density. As a result, it offers an excellent balance of bullet weight, aerodynamic efficiency and downrange performance.

Why Choose Hornady 6mm 87gr V-Max Bullets?

The V-MAX design combines a polymer tip with Hornady’s precision bullet construction for accurate, efficient flight. In addition, the 87 grain weight gives this projectile more mass than lighter 6mm V-MAX options. Therefore, it provides a useful alternative for shooters looking for a heavier varmint bullet with strong aerodynamic performance.

The .400 G1 BC is particularly useful for a bullet of this weight. As a result, the projectile can retain velocity efficiently as range increases while offering reduced sensitivity to wind compared with lower-BC bullets. However, actual trajectory and wind performance depend on muzzle velocity, atmospheric conditions and the individual rifle.

For reloaders, seating depth and load development should always follow current published data for the specific cartridge and rifle. The bullet should also be tested in the individual rifle to establish the load combination that delivers the best accuracy.

Varmint Shooting Performance

The 87 grain V-MAX provides a heavier option within Hornady’s 6mm V-MAX range. Furthermore, its .400 G1 BC gives it strong aerodynamic performance for its weight.

At the same time, the polymer tip supports the V-MAX design and rapid expansion on impact. As a result, the bullet is suited to varmint applications where accurate shot placement and rapid bullet upset are important.

The higher bullet weight can also make this projectile attractive to shooters who want more mass than the 65 or 75 grain 6mm V-MAX options. In addition, the .210 sectional density reflects the useful balance between bullet weight and .243″ diameter.
