Hrndy 17hm2 17gr V-max 50/5000

The Hornady 17HM2 17 Grain V-Max ammunition delivers precision and performance for varmint hunting and target shooting. Loaded with Hornady's proven V-Max bullet technology, this rimfire cartridge combines tack-driving accuracy with rapid expansion on impact—ideal for hunters pursuing prairie dogs, coyotes, and foxes from close to intermediate range.

Each 50-round box delivers consistent performance through uniform powder charges and quality-controlled V-Max projectiles. The 17-grain bullet exits the muzzle at 2,100 feet per second, a velocity that maximizes energy transfer on small-frame targets while minimizing wind deflection at typical varmint hunting distances. The 17 HM2 cartridge, designed for rifles with appropriate chamber specifications, provides a flatter trajectory and less noise signature than larger centerfire varmint loads, making it suitable for hunting near populated areas where noise regulations apply.

This ammunition serves precision-oriented hunters and target shooters who prioritize accuracy over raw power. Hornady's rimfire line is recognized for batch-to-batch consistency, a critical factor when zeroing rifles or conducting group testing at the range. The 17HM2's modest recoil enables shooters to maintain sight picture between shots and conduct multiple hunting sessions without fatigue—advantages that compound over a season of active fieldwork.

Whether managing prairie dog towns, training rifle technique, or competing in rimfire precision events, the Hornady 17HM2 17 Grain V-Max ammunition provides the ballistic performance and construction quality expected from a manufacturer with deep expertise in both rimfire and centerfire ammunition engineering.
