Bulk 17 HMR in an Easy-Carry Bottle
Federal BYOB packs are plastic bulk containers made to stack, store and carry easily. The lid can come off completely, or you can leave it on and use the easy-pour feature to fill a magazine or loading block without spilling rounds.
Inside are 250 rounds of 17 HMR loaded with a 17 grain jacketed hollow point. Federal describes these loads as accurate and consistent at a value price, which makes them well suited to long range sessions, practice and small game hunting where legal.
The 17 HMR is known for flat trajectories at rimfire distances. A light, fast bullet like this one helps you stretch shots on paper targets and small varmints compared with many 22 rimfire loads.

Rimfire Shooting Tips
Use Federal BYOB 17 HMR 17gr JHP 250 Rounds only in firearms chambered for 17 HMR.
Zero your rifle with this load at the distance you shoot most, often 50 or 100 yards for 17 HMR.
Know your backstop; small, fast rimfire bullets can travel a long way.
Check local regulations before using 17 HMR for small game hunting.
Federal BYOB 17 HMR 17gr JHP 250 Rounds is a smart choice for shooters who burn through a lot of 17 HMR and want it in one easy-to-store container.
Storing bulk rimfire
Keep the bottle closed when you are not using it so dust and moisture stay out. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep ammunition locked away from children.
Getting consistent accuracy
Rimfire rifles often prefer one load over another. Shoot a few groups with this ammunition at your usual distance to confirm it groups well in your rifle, then keep a supply on hand so your zero stays the same.
Cleaning
Clean your bore periodically after long range sessions, since rimfire residue builds up over hundreds of rounds and can affect accuracy.
Why Buy 17 HMR in Bulk
Buying Federal BYOB 17 HMR 17gr JHP 250 Rounds in one container means fewer small boxes to track and fewer trips to restock. It is a practical way to keep enough ammunition on hand for a full season of practice, varmint control and plinking.
Choosing a 17 HMR Load
Hollow point bullets like this one expand on impact, which makes them a common choice for small game and pests. Polymer-tipped varmint bullets are another option for longer shots. Many shooters keep a bulk supply like Federal BYOB 17 HMR 17gr JHP 250 Rounds for practice and save premium boxed loads for specific hunts.
Range Day Checklist
Bring eye and ear protection, a spotting scope or binoculars, targets, a cleaning rod and extra magazines. Having everything ready lets you spend more time shooting and less time packing up.
