500rds – 5.7x28mm FN Herstal SS197SR 40gr. V-MAX Ammo

FN Ammunition 40 Grain V-MAX Ammo Details

When you want whiskey, you buy American. When you want champagne, you give your money to France. And when you want fine 5.7x28mm ammunition, you go right to the source as well. These rounds hail straight from FN Herstal and feature Hornady’s 40 grain V-MAX projectiles.

The V-MAX boasts exceptional accuracy and a whopping terminal effect. The bullet includes a uniformly dense swaged lead core, concentric jacket with maximum bearing surface area, and pointed polymer tip. The tip itself is situated in such a fashion that enables it to build up exceptional energy before contacting the interior of the core. And when it connects -- POW! Instantaneous fragmentation, the very sort that unzips varmints in an instant. Not too shabby for self-defense, either.

This round’s muzzle velocity consistently exceeds 2,000 fps, another boon to its accuracy. Its V-MAX also reliably fragments at lower velocities, so it remains quite potent downrange. Hornady’s varmint buster is loaded in FN Herstal’s best brass, replete with clean burning propellant and a non-corrosive Boxer primer.
