Federal Premium 17 HMR 17 Grain V-Max ammunition delivers proven accuracy and explosive terminal performance for varmint hunters relying on rimfire platforms. This 50-round box of Federal Premium VShok loads provides the velocity and ballistic precision required to maximize effective range and energy transfer on small game and varmint targets where shot placement demands are critical.
The 17-grain V-Max projectile exits the muzzle at 2,530 feet per second, a velocity specification that positions this round in the flat-shooting category for 17 HMR rifles. At this velocity, the V-Max bullet maintains consistent trajectory to extended ranges typical of rimfire varmint work, while the hollow-point construction ensures rapid expansion on impact. Federal's quality control in primer seating and powder charge consistency translates to tight shot grouping—a measurable advantage when accuracy determines success on small, distant targets.
This ammunition is purpose-built for prairie dog hunters, coyote control specialists, and precision rimfire competitors who demand dependable performance across varied shooting conditions. The 17 HMR cartridge has become the standard for long-range varmint shooting, and Federal Premium VShok loads represent the upper tier of commercially manufactured options in this caliber. Shooters conducting high-volume field operations appreciate the 50-round box format for efficient transport and counting during extended range sessions.
The 17 HMR occupies a unique position in the rimfire spectrum, offering ballistic performance between traditional 22 LR and centerfire platforms without the recoil or noise signature of larger calibers. Federal Premium VShok ammunition maintains the ammunition manufacturer's reputation for consistency and is available in quantities suitable for both practice sessions and field operations.
