Hunting ammunition does a different job than the FMJ you run at the range: the bullet is built to expand on impact instead of punching straight through. Our hunting line skips full metal jacket entirely - soft points for controlled expansion on medium game, polymer-tipped V-MAX for rapid expansion on varmints and predators, and match-grade A-MAX that shoots tight at distance and has earned a following on deer and hogs. Every load is remanufactured to spec and backed by our 5000% Brass-Clad Performance Guarantee.
| Load | Bullet | Where it shines |
|---|---|---|
| .223 55gr V-MAX | polymer tip, rapid expansion | varmints & predators (coyote, fox, prairie dog) |
| .223 55gr Soft Point | controlled expansion | varmints & predators |
| 300 BLK 110gr V-MAX | polymer tip, rapid expansion | varmints, predators, smaller hogs |
| .308 150gr Soft Point | controlled expansion | deer & medium-to-large game |
| .308 168gr A-MAX | match-grade accuracy | deer, hogs & larger game at distance |
The bullet. Range ammo is usually full metal jacket, built to punch straight through paper and steel cheaply. Hunting bullets are built to expand on impact and put their energy into the animal. Every load in our hunting line uses an expanding bullet - soft point, V-MAX, or A-MAX - not FMJ.
A soft point has exposed lead at the tip and expands in a controlled way, holding together for deeper penetration on medium game. A V-MAX has a polymer tip over a thin jacket and expands fast and violently, which is what you want on varmints and predators. Match the bullet to the animal.
For varmints and predators - coyote, fox, prairie dog - yes, especially the 55gr V-MAX and soft point. For big game like deer it depends: some states set minimum calibers or bullet types that rule out .223, so check your local regulations before you count on it.
It is one of the most popular deer cartridges there is. Our 150gr soft point is a classic controlled-expansion deer load, and the 168gr A-MAX is a favorite of accuracy-minded hunters on deer and hogs. Both carry plenty of energy at normal hunting ranges.
Yes. For hunting, reach for an expanding bullet like our 110gr V-MAX - it is well suited to varmints, predators, and smaller hogs at moderate range.
