Federal Varmint & Predator ammunition is purpose-built for taking prairie dogs, coyotes, and other varmints with the kind of precision and terminal performance serious hunters demand. This 100-round box is loaded with Hornady's V-Max bullet, a proven performer that balances accuracy and energy release on impact.
The 53 grain V-Max bullet is engineered with a polymer tip and streamlined profile that gives you a flat trajectory and high ballistic coefficient of 0.290. That design means less wind drift and more confidence when stretching shots out past typical ranges. At 3400 fps, the round delivers solid energy downrange while the V-Max's sharp, pointed design cuts through the air cleanly.
When the V-Max makes contact, the polymer tip acts as a trigger for rapid expansion. The tip compresses into the cavity, forcing the surrounding jacket and core to rupture and fragment. This isn't a slow performer either; the bullet will reliably expand at ranges well beyond 250 yards. For varmint work where you need quick, clean terminal performance, that matters.
Federal doesn't cut corners on components. You get their high-quality brass, boxer primers, and carefully selected propellant. This combination means predictable velocity, reliable ignition, and load-to-load consistency that translates into tight groups at the bench and clean hits in the field. The 100-round box format makes it practical to shoot enough to dial in your rifle and run plenty of training rounds.
Federal Varmint & Predator is specifically loaded for varmint and predator hunting. The Hornady V-Max bullet is designed to expand rapidly on impact and fragment into the target. Standard ammunition may use different bullet types optimized for different purposes, like target shooting or general practice.
Yes, this ammunition is AR-15 compatible. It's a standard .223 Remington load that functions reliably in modern sporting rifles, carbines, and most bolt-action rifles chambered in .223. The reloadable brass cases make it an economical option for high-volume shooting.
The 53 grain V-Max sits in a sweet spot for .223 hunting. It's lighter than heavier hunting rounds, which lets Federal push it to 3400 fps for a flatter trajectory and higher ballistic coefficient. This weight works well in most twist rates and delivers explosive expansion across a wide range of hunting distances.
Federal Varmint & Predator is effective out to extended ranges due to its 0.290 ballistic coefficient and flat trajectory. The V-Max bullet will reliably expand well beyond 250 yards, making it a capable option for longer shots, though the farther you go, the more wind drift becomes a factor in your shooting.
