The Hornady 81531 Varmint Express 224 Valkyrie 60gr Hornady V-MAX delivers the speed, terminal performance, and accuracy varmint hunters demand, and the Hornady V Max series reputation for match-grade external ballistics speaks for itself. With a 60 grain Hornady V-MAX bullet driving roughly 3300 fps and producing about 1451 ft-lbs of energy, this 224 Valkyrie load offers a flat, wind-defying trajectory and rapid fragmentation on impact, making shot placement less forgiving of distance or wind drift when you're engaging coyotes, prairie dogs, or other small predators at extended ranges. The brass casing ensures reliable feeding and corrosion resistance in field conditions, while carefully matched propellants and primers maintain consistent velocities shot after shot for tighter groups and predictable drop compensation. Whether dialing turrets at the range to confirm zero, running a stalk in variable winds, or engaging multiple targets across open country, this Hornady Varmint Express round provides the ballistic coefficient and terminal behavior hunters reference when choosing 224 Valkyrie ammo.
