Product Description
Hornady Varmint Express .17 HMR 17gr V-MAX 50-Round Box
Hornady Varmint Express .17 HMR with the 17-grain V-MAX projectile is the definitive varmint and small predator load for rimfire rifles — a flat-shooting, explosively expanding round that transforms the .17 HMR from a curiosity into a legitimate tool for prairie dog towns, ground squirrel colonies, and long-range tree rat eradication at distances where .22 LR would require windage holds and trajectory compensation. At 2,550 fps, the .17 HMR V-MAX delivers 245 ft-lbs at the muzzle with a trajectory that stays within 1 inch of zero from 0 to 130 yards when sighted at 100 — practical point-and-shoot range for most varmint work. The polymer-tipped V-MAX bullet initiates expansion immediately on contact with soft tissue, delivering catastrophic terminal performance that eliminates the "running off wounded" problem that plagues slower varmint rounds. Match-grade propellant and brass-washed cases ensure exceptional lot-to-lot consistency that competitive silhouette and varmint bench shooters demand. The 50-round box is priced right for volume shooting days in the prairie.
