Federal P771 Premium Varmint & Predator 17 HMR 17 gr 2530 fps Hornady V-Max (VMX) 50 Bx/60 Cs

Federal Premium Varmint & Predator 17 HMR ammunition delivers the flat-shooting performance you need for clean, ethical varmint work. Loaded with a 17-grain Hornady V-Max bullet at 2530 fps, this rimfire round combines velocity with a polymer-tipped projectile designed to expand reliably on small game and varmints. Whether you're working ground squirrels, prairie dogs, or foxes, the 17 HMR's minimal recoil and inherent accuracy make it a favorite among hunters who value precision and follow-up shot capability without the power overkill of centerfire options.

The V-Max bullet's polymer tip and copper jacket work together to maintain consistent velocity downrange while the 17 HMR's inherent flat trajectory keeps holdover minimal at typical varmint distances. Federal Premium quality control means consistent performance from shot to shot—critical when you're making ethical harvests on small, fast-moving targets. The 50-round box gives you enough ammunition to practice, hunt, and refine your marksmanship without burning through your stock.

17 HMR has become the standard for serious varmint hunters who've moved beyond 22 LR but don't want the recoil, noise, or cost of centerfire rifles. The cartridge pairs perfectly with modern rimfire rifles engineered for its capabilities, delivering the speed and trajectory that make distant shots routine. If you run a quality 17 HMR rifle and demand ammunition that matches that investment, Federal's Varmint & Predator line is built for the job.
