17 HMR – 17 Gr Speer TNT JHP – Federal Varmint &Predator (P770) – 1000 Rounds

This 17 HMR load (P770) delivers exactly what small-game and varmint hunters expect from the cartridge: high velocity, flat trajectory, and explosive terminal performance. Federal loads it with a 17 grain Speer TNT jacketed hollow point bullet. The TNT bullet has an extremely thin jacket and a large hollow point cavity. As a result, it expands violently on small targets and transfers energy fast.

Federal rates this load at 2,530 fps with 242 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Therefore, the cartridge shoots flat enough for precise shots on small game at practical rimfire distances. The speed also helps reduce holdover compared to slower rimfire cartridges. Meanwhile, recoil stays almost nonexistent. Shooters can spot impacts through the optic instead of losing the sight picture after every shot.

The Speer TNT bullet gives this load its real personality. It fragments quickly on impact. Consequently, it performs extremely well on prairie dogs, squirrels, rabbits, groundhogs, and similar varmints. Hunters who spend long days shooting small targets appreciate that fast expansion and minimal recoil combination. The cartridge stays easy to shoot even after hundreds of rounds.

Federal’s Varmint & Predator line also has a reputation for consistent rimfire ignition. That matters because rimfire ammunition depends heavily on priming quality. Moreover, the brass cases feed smoothly in bolt guns, semi-autos, and lever actions chambered for 17 HMR.

Each box contains 50 rounds. Each case includes 10 boxes, totaling 500 rounds based on the packaging provided. However, your title says 1000 rounds. A true 1000-round case would normally require 20 boxes of 50 rounds. The quantity section below follows the packaging information you supplied.

This is serious 17 HMR hunting ammunition. It shoots fast, hits violently on small game, and gives rimfire shooters the kind of flat trajectory that makes difficult shots feel routine.
