Hornady Varmint Express ammunition is designed around the hard-hitting performance of the famous V-MAX bullet. Polymer tipped V-MAX bullets deliver match accuracy, high ballistic coefficients, wind defying trajectories, and rapid fragmentation upon contact. Each Varmint Express offering is loaded with high quality cases and carefully selected propellant and primers that are chosen to provide the best performance in each individual load.
Features :
- Proven Bullets: Hornady V-MAX and NTX bullets consistently achieve accuracy and rapid fragmentation at all practical varmint shooting velocities.
- Powder: Each cartridge is loaded to ensure optimal pressure, velocity, accuracy and lot-to-lot consistency.
- Select Brass: Hornady produces most of the brass for the Varmint Express ammunition. Brass is chosen to ensure it meets our high standards for reliable feeding, corrosion resistance, proper hardness, and the ability to withstand maximum chamber pressures.
- Primers: Like the powder, each primer is carefully matched to individual loads, and all are chosen for their ability to quickly, completely and reliably ignite the powder charge.

Caliber Dictionary

Annnounced by Hornady in 2016, the 6mm Creedmoor was wildcatted by Outdoor Life's John Snow, the 6mm Creedmoor, as its name implies, is created by simply necking down the 6.5mm Creedmoor case to take a 6mm (.243-inch) bullet. Actual velocity is very similar to the long-popular .243 Winchester. The advantage is offers is that, with its shorter case, it does a bit better with the longer aerodynamic bullets that are winning matches--and that's its intent and primary niche, serious long-range competition with long, low-drag bullets that get past the finish line with very mild recoil. As a crossover varmint/deer cartridge it offers no real advantage over the tried-and-true .243, but it's just as good in those roles, and in the right hands (and the right barrels) might win a few more matches. — Craig Boddington
