500 Rounds of .17 HMR Ammo by Hornady Varmint Express - 20gr XTP JHP

Who better to make your 17 Hornady Rimfire Magnum ammunition than the very company which introduced the 17 HMR to the world in the first place? Varmint Express series ammo is a fine choice for any kind of varmint hunt. It’s also great when you simply want to witness true match accuracy at the old rifle range!

Hornady typically offers their eXtreme Terminal Performance bullet for defensive applications, but the XTP excels at homing in on and pulverizing small game as well. The low-drag 20 grain projectile conquers frontal air resistance effectively enough to conserve 140 ft lbs of kinetic energy at 100 yards. At that range the small jacketed hollow point still has the potential for immediate and wide terminal expansion. The scavengers may not be able to identify the remains, but they’ll relish eating them all the same.

This ammo’s uniform cases, high-powered propellant charges and sensitive primers assure optimal functionality in all hunting rifles. Hornady measured this round’s muzzle velocity and 0.125 G1 ballistic coefficient with the aid of a 24” test barrel.
