What Is This Product?
This is a factory-new, 500-round bulk pack of centerfire-quality rimfire ammunition. The cartridge is the potent .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (17 HMR), loaded with a lightning-fast 17-grain Hornady V-Max bullet. It’s engineered specifically for varmint control—think prairie dogs, ground squirrels, crows, and raccoons—at extended rimfire ranges. The “Varmint Express” line is Hornady’s dedicated solution for shooters who require maximum accuracy and dramatic terminal ballistics in a rimfire platform.

Engineering & How It Works
The 17 HMR is a marvel of ballistic efficiency. It starts with a thick-walled, precision-drawn brass case for consistent ignition. The propellant is a tailored, clean-burning powder that drives the 17-grain V-Max bullet to a sizzling 2550 feet per second (fps) at the muzzle. The bullet itself is the star. The V-Max (Varmint Express) polymer-tipped design is borrowed from Hornady’s renowned centerfire varminting line. This tip initiates rapid, controlled fragmentation upon impact, transferring virtually all energy into the target for instantaneous, humane kills with minimal pelt damage. The boat-tail design enhances aerodynamic efficiency for a flatter trajectory and less wind drift.

Performance Benefits & Real-World Use

• Unmatched Accuracy: The combination of uniform brass, consistent propellant, and the secant ogive V-Max bullet yields exceptional sub-MOA potential from quality rifles, making long-range shots on small pests a confident endeavor.

• Devastating Terminal Effect: The V-Max is designed to violently expand and fragment at the high velocities of the 17 HMR, creating a shock wave that ensures quick, ethical harvests. This is the definitive choice for minimizing wounding loss.

• Flat Trajectory: With a high ballistic coefficient for its size, the 17-grain V-Max shoots laser-flat. Holdover is minimal out to 150 yards, simplifying rangefinding and shot placement.

• Minimal Recoil & Report: The rimfire design offers negligible recoil and modest report (especially with a suppressor), allowing for quick follow-up shots and more comfortable extended shooting sessions.

Safety, Storage & Longevity
Always treat every cartridge as live. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and extreme temperature fluctuations. The non-corrosive primers and clean-burning powder ensure reliability and long shelf life—decades when stored properly in its original, sealed packaging within an ammo can with desiccant. As with all rimfire ammunition, avoid excessive handling of the rim to preserve priming compound integrity.

Who Is This Ammo For?
This bulk pack is ideally suited for the serious varminter, the farmer/rancher managing crop-damaging pests, or the precision rimfire plinker who values consistency. It’s the ammunition of choice for shooters using rifles like the Savage B-Mag, Ruger American Rimfire, CZ 457, or any precision-chambered 17 HMR firearm. The 500-round quantity is perfect for a dedicated prairie dog town trip or a season of farmstead pest control without constant reordering.
