Description
This is a 500-round case of Hornady Superformance Varmint ammunition in .204 Ruger, loaded with 40-grain V-Max polymer-tipped bullets. It’s built for varmint hunters and shooters who demand flat trajectories and explosive terminal performance at extended ranges. Since we added it to our inventory in late 2025, it has consistently been a top seller for its purpose. The polymer tip and boat-tail design deliver reliable expansion and minimal wind drift.
Why This One?
- Superformance Propellant: Engineered to provide higher velocities without increasing peak pressure, resulting in a flatter shooting trajectory.
- V-Max Polymer Tip: The tip initiates rapid, violent expansion on impact for maximum energy transfer on varmints.
- Durable Construction: Our staff has noted the nickel-plated cases and proprietary coating hold up well; one batch survived three aggressive cleaning cycles with Hoppe’s No. 9 solvent without issue.
- Consistent Performance: As a regular reorder item for us, its popularity is based on reliable lot-to-lot consistency reported by our customers.
- High-Volume Value: The 500-round case offers a practical cost-per-round for dedicated practice and extended field sessions.

Q & A
Is this ammunition corrosive?
No. This Hornady Superformance ammunition uses non-corrosive Boxer primers and modern propellants. Standard cleaning practices are recommended after use.
What is the main advantage of the Superformance load?
The proprietary Superformance propellant blend is designed to achieve higher muzzle velocities than standard loads in the same caliber, which translates to a flatter trajectory and extended effective range for varmint hunting.
Is the 40-grain V-Max suitable for coyotes?
Yes, the 40-grain V-Max is an effective choice for coyote-sized predators. The polymer tip ensures rapid fragmentation and energy dump, promoting quick, ethical kills with proper shot placement. It is not recommended for larger game or pelt preservation.
