From prairie dogs to coyote and fox, the Hornady® Rimfire line of ammunition offers varmint hunters high speed rimfire cartridges. Loaded with either the V-MAX® or NTX® bullet, these loads deliver tack-driving accuracy and dramatic expansion on impact.

This cartridge is based on the 22LR necked down to 17-caliber. It is not a variation of the 17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (HMR) and is not interchangeable with it.

Key Features:

• The polymer tip of a V-MAX® bullet delivers more than tack-driving accuracy at long range - it also creates dramatic expansion on impact.
• The flat trajectory delivered by the 17 HMR® makes it the most accurate long-range rimfire ever made.
• 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!
• The powerful new propellants available today make the 17 HMR® the most accurate, hardest-hitting rimfire cartridge available.
