Description
The Hornady 17 HM2 17gr V-MAX load is built for shooters who want more from their 17 Mach 2 than typical factory ammunition delivers. Hornady loads a 17 grain V-MAX polymer tip to a rated 2100 feet per second, producing about 167 foot-pounds of energy. Hornady Varmint Express rimfire ammunition brings polymer-tipped bullet performance to rimfire rifles, with flat trajectory, tight groups and rapid expansion on small varmints and pests.

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Hornady builds into every cartridge.
Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Hornady 17 HM2 17gr V-MAX until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.
About the 17 Mach 2
The 17 Mach 2 was created by necking a .22 Long Rifle Stinger case down to .17 caliber. It gives rimfire shooters a much flatter trajectory than the .22 LR for squirrels, prairie dogs and other small pests.
