The Hornady Superformance Varmint rifle ammo in 204 Ruger with the 32 gr Hornady V-MAX is built for serious varmint work, offering the Superformance Varmint series' signature high-velocity performance that pushes this cartridge to an advertised 4,225 fps and 1,268 ftlbs of muzzle energy for flatter trajectory, less wind drift and extended effective range on prairie dogs, ground squirrels and similar targets. As a shooter you'll notice match-grade accuracy from the polymer-tipped V-MAX that promotes rapid fragmentation and reliable terminal results at the distances varmint hunters engage, and the Superformance propellant technology delivers consistent velocity gains across rifle platforms while remaining safe to use in bolt-actions and semi-autos. The ammunition comes with brass casings for dependable extraction and feeding, is marked ORM-D for HazAir handling, and is made in the United States, which appeals to range operators and hunters who want traceable sourcing. If you run a dedicated varmint rig chambered in 204 Ruger, this Hornady Superformance Varmint load brings the speed, flat-shooting trajectory and terminal performance you need for ethical, long-range pest control and precision small-game work.
