Hornady Black 6.8mm SPC 110gr V-MAX 20rd Box

Description

The Hornady Black line brings solid mid-range hunting ammunition to the 6.8 SPC community. Loaded with 110-grain V-MAX polymer-tipped bullets, these rounds hit at around 2,550 to 2,575 fps depending on your barrel length, delivering the kind of ballistics you expect from a purpose-built hunting cartridge. The lightweight bullet plays to the strengths of the 6.8 SPC, giving you a flatter trajectory and reliable performance where it counts most.

What Makes the V-MAX Bullet Work

The V-MAX design is Hornady's answer to controlled terminal performance on smaller game and varmints. That polymer tip does more than look sharp—it speeds up the ballistic coefficient for better downrange performance, then acts as a wedge upon impact. Underneath sits a hollow cavity that ignites the expansion process, resulting in rapid fragmentation even at lower velocities. You get quick, clean terminal performance without excessive meat damage or deep penetration that misses the vitals entirely.

Built for the AR-15 6.8 SPC Platform

These rounds are optimized to run through direct impingement, gas piston, and bolt-action rifles alike. Hornady loaded them in quality brass cases with non-corrosive boxer primers and clean-burning powders—the kind of components that keep your rifle running smooth and your barrel cleaner. The ammunition comes in conventional 20-round boxes, making it easy to stockpile for your next hunt or range trip.

The 6.8 SPC itself sits in that useful sweet spot between 5.56 NATO and larger rifle rounds. It's effective on coyotes, prairie dogs, groundhogs, and other small-to-medium varmints, and plenty of hunters use it for hog work too. The 110-grain load is the classic choice for that mission, balancing velocity with the kind of expansion profile these targets demand.
