Description
The Hornady 220 Swift 55gr V-MAX load is built for shooters who want more from their .220 Swift than typical factory ammunition delivers. Hornady loads a 55 grain V-MAX polymer tip to a rated 3680 feet per second, producing about 1654 foot-pounds of energy. Varmint Express ammunition is built around the V-MAX bullet, whose polymer tip and thin jacket produce rapid, explosive expansion on prairie dogs, groundhogs, coyotes and other varmints, with the accuracy needed for small targets at long range.

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Hornady builds into every cartridge.
Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Hornady 220 Swift 55gr V-MAX until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.
About the .220 Swift
The .220 Swift was introduced by Winchester in 1935 as the first commercial cartridge to exceed 4,000 fps. It remains one of the fastest varmint cartridges, with a very flat trajectory for long shots on coyotes and prairie dogs.
