Designed around the hard-hitting performance of the famous Hornady V-Max bullet, the NTX bullet is specifically designed for supremely accurate long-range shooting for customers who aren't permitted to shoot lead bullets in their home states. NTX, or Non-Toxic Expanding bullets from Hornady deliver the same accuracy and performance as their popular V-Max bullets. The lead-free core, made of proprietary metals, is formed through a unique compression process at Hornady's bullet lab. This is not loaded ammunition.
