Ally Munitions Notes

This load is listed by Hornady at 3,680 fps, placing it among the fastest factory-loaded .22-250 options available. We are preparing to run this cartridge through a full test regimen, including velocity verification, standard deviation tracking, and sub-MOA potential across barrel lengths from 22" to 26".

Our initial experience mirrors Hornady's claims — this is a fast, accurate, and hard-hitting varmint round, capable of anchoring targets decisively inside traditional varminting distances.

We’ll post real-world data and field impressions as testing progresses.

Field Use

This 55 gr V-MAX is purpose-built for coyotes, bobcats, prairie dogs, and other varmints, especially in environments where precision and explosive terminal results are critical. We plan to begin formal field testing during this fall’s predator season and will update performance reports based on real-world kills, fur damage, and expansion feedback.
