From prairie dogs to coyote and fox, the Hornady® Rimfire line of ammunition offers varmint hunters high speed rimfire cartridges. Loaded with the V-MAX® bullet, these loads deliver tack-driving accuracy and dramatic expansion on impact.
Features:
- Hard-Hitting V-MAX® Technology
- The polymer tip of a V-MAX® bullet delivers more than tack-driving accuracy at long range — it also creates dramatic expansion on impact.
- Honest 200-yard Performance
- The flat trajectory delivered by the 17 HMR® makes it the most accurate long-range rimfire ever made.
- Select Brass
- The uniformity of the Hornady® 17 HMR® case is equaled only by ultra-expensive match ammo, and case geometry helps provide this new cartridge’s unequaled performance!
- Propellant
- The powerful new propellants available today make the 17 HMR® the most accurate, hardest-hitting rimfire cartridge available.
