Winchester Supreme 17 HMR ammunition delivers the precision and flat trajectory serious varmint hunters demand. Built around Hornady's proven V-MAX bullet design, this 17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire load combines velocity and accuracy for effective performance on prairie dogs, coyotes, foxes, and other small predators at extended ranges where centerfire cartridges may be overkill or impractical. The rimfire platform offers low recoil, quiet operation, and inherent reliability—ideal when you need consistent shot placement without breaking the bank on ammunition.
The 17-grain V-MAX projectile is engineered for rapid expansion on impact, delivering the energy transfer needed for clean, ethical kills on varmint-sized game. This load runs at 2550 feet per second, generating 245 foot-pounds of muzzle energy—enough to reach out to distances well beyond what standard 22 LR or 22 WMR can reliably handle. Whether you're working a prairie dog town, predator calling, or simply punching paper at the range, this ammunition pairs the ballistic advantages of the 17 HMR cartridge with Winchester's quality control and Hornady's bullet engineering.
Each box contains 50 rounds, making it convenient for a day in the field or an afternoon at your favorite range. Winchester Supreme is a trusted name in ammunition reliability, and this rimfire load continues that reputation with consistent performance you can count on when it matters.

The 17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire is designed for varmint hunting and small predator control. Its high velocity, flat trajectory, and accuracy make it effective on prairie dogs, coyotes, foxes, and similar game at longer ranges than standard rimfire cartridges. It's also used for target shooting and pest control where low recoil and minimal noise are advantages.
While both are rimfire cartridges, the 17 HMR is engineered for flatter, longer-range ballistics. The 17-grain V-MAX bullet at 2550 fps offers superior velocity and trajectory over typical 22 WMR loads, making it a better choice for extended-distance varmint work and situations where precision at range is critical.
Yes. The rapid-expansion V-MAX bullet and 245 foot-pounds of muzzle energy provide clean, ethical performance on small game. The 17 HMR's accuracy and flat shooting make it a versatile choice for both predator control and hunting rabbits, squirrels, and similar-sized game.
Each box contains 50 rounds of Winchester Supreme 17 HMR ammunition with 17-grain Hornady V-MAX bullets.
