The Hornady 17 HMR 17 Grain V-Max ammunition (SKU: H83170) delivers precision rimfire performance built specifically for varmint control and small-game hunting. Loaded with Hornady's proven V-Max bullet, this 17 HMR cartridge achieves 2,550 feet per second muzzle velocity—a velocity sweet spot that balances energy transfer with reliable bullet expansion on impact. Each box contains 50 rounds, making this an efficient choice for extended range sessions or field work.
The 17-grain V-Max bullet design combines a polymer-tipped nose cavity with a thin, frangible jacket—engineered to initiate rapid expansion upon hitting target material. At 17 HMR velocities, this bullet weight maintains flat trajectories while delivering dramatic terminal performance on prairie dogs, foxes, and coyotes without excessive pelt damage. The rimfire platform's low recoil and inherently accurate nature make follow-up shots fast and reliable, critical factors when running multiple targets across open terrain.
This ammunition is purpose-built for shooters who demand tack-driving accuracy from a rimfire platform. Whether conducting predator management on ranch land, training on small-bore rifles, or hunting in jurisdictions where centerfire options are restricted, the Hornady 17 HMR V-Max delivers consistent performance. The 17 HMR cartridge itself has become the standard for precision varmint hunting where .22 Magnum lacks velocity and larger centerfires prove excessive.
