Hornady Superformance Varmint .17 Hornet 20gr V-MAX ammunition is designed to deliver maximum velocity and precision for varmint and predator hunting. Hornady’s Superformance® propellant technology increases muzzle velocity compared to conventional loads while maintaining safe operating pressures and consistent accuracy.
At the center of this cartridge is the 20-grain V-MAX® projectile, a polymer-tipped bullet engineered for rapid expansion and explosive fragmentation upon impact. The aerodynamic polymer tip improves ballistic efficiency while initiating immediate expansion when the bullet reaches the target.
The V-MAX bullet features a precision-engineered jacket and streamlined profile, helping reduce drag and maintain stability in flight. This design contributes to flat trajectories and excellent accuracy, making it ideal for engaging small targets at extended distances.
With a muzzle velocity of approximately 3650 feet per second, this load provides extreme speed and explosive terminal performance, making it an excellent choice for varmint and predator hunting.
