The V-Max� bullet is designed for explosive terminal performance through its polymer tip construction, which features a hollow cavity between the tip shaft and the bullet body. Upon impact, the rigid tip shaft rapidly builds energy before penetrating the core, triggering rapid expansion that leads to violent fragmentation even at low impact velocities. In addition, Hornady� engineers combine the sharp polymer tip with a highly aerodynamic bullet profile to achieve a superior ballistic coefficient. The V-Max� design also maximizes bearing surface, contributing to enhanced in-flight stability and consistent accuracy.
