The secret to the explosive terminal performance of the V-Max ® is a hollow cavity resting between the tip's shaft and the body of the bullet. Upon impact, the plastic drives into the hollow point, or fragments into small pieces and the bullet performs like a regular hollow-point, expanding ("mushrooming") to a larger diameter or fragmenting.

A few years later, SIG ammo moved into a permanent, ultra-modern home base in Jacksonville, Ark.
