Hornady, Varmint Express, 220 Swift, V-Max, 55 Grain, 20 Rounds

The Hornady Varmint Express Rifle Ammo 220 Swift 55 gr V-Max delivers the kind of high-velocity, controlled-expansion performance varmint hunters demand, loading Hornady's Varmint Express series into a 220 Swift package that pushes a 55-grain V-Max to about 3,680 fps and roughly 1,654 ft—lbs of muzzle energy for flat trajectories and rapid terminal effect. If you hunt prairie dogs, groundhogs, or coyotes at extended ranges, the V-Max polymer tip initiates quick, reliable fragmentation to produce wide wound channels that immobilize small targets while minimizing pelt damage for fur recovery; the cannelured, brass-cased rounds resist corrosion and function reliably across temperature extremes, making them suitable for long sits or cold-weather outings. As a high-velocity centerfire option with Hornady's Varmint Express pedigree and a design geared toward accuracy and consistent velocities, this 220 Swift load is useful for precision varmint work, range tuning, and situations where repeatable point-of-impact and terminal performance matter. For hunters and shotgunners moving into dedicated varmint rifles, these cartridges offer ballistic consistency, clean feeding and extraction, and the terminal characteristics needed to get the job done.
