Federal Premium Varmint & Predator .17 HMR Ammunition is engineered for hunters who demand flat trajectories, pinpoint accuracy, and explosive terminal performance on varmints and small predators. Combining the speed of the .17 HMR cartridge with the proven Hornady V-MAX bullet, this load delivers the precision and impact needed for confident shots at extended rimfire distances.
Each cartridge is loaded with a 17-grain Hornady V-MAX polymer-tipped bullet designed to expand rapidly on impact. Its streamlined profile and polymer tip promote outstanding accuracy and aerodynamic performance, while the bullet's rapid fragmentation helps deliver decisive results on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, foxes, coyotes, and other small game.
With a muzzle velocity of 2,530 fps and muzzle energy of 242 ft-lbs, this high-velocity load offers a flat trajectory and excellent downrange performance, making it easier to connect on small targets in open terrain. Premium brass casings and reliable rimfire priming provide dependable ignition and consistent shot-to-shot performance, while Federal's strict quality standards ensure every cartridge performs as expected.
Packaged for serious hunters, Federal Premium Varmint & Predator ammunition is an outstanding choice for controlling pests or spending a day in the field. When accuracy, velocity, and explosive terminal performance matter, this .17 HMR load is ready to deliver.
