Description
The Hornady 17 Hornet 20gr V-MAX load is built for shooters who want more from their .17 Hornet than typical factory ammunition delivers. Hornady loads a 20 grain V-MAX polymer tip to a rated 3650 feet per second, producing about 592 foot-pounds of energy. Superformance ammunition uses specially blended propellants to reach velocities up to 200 fps faster than standard loads without extra pressure or recoil. Paired with a polymer-tipped varmint bullet, it delivers an extremely flat trajectory and explosive expansion on prairie dogs, coyotes and other varmints.

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 Hornet 20gr V-MAX until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.
About the .17 Hornet
Hornady introduced the .17 Hornet in 2012 by necking down the .22 Hornet case. It shoots extremely flat with almost no recoil or muzzle blast, making it a great choice for prairie dogs and small varmints out past 250 yards.
