17 HMR – 17 Gr V-Max – CCI (0049) – 1000 Rounds

CCI’s 17 HMR V-Max ammunition (0049) punches above its weight class for varmint hunters who demand precision performance on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and small game. The seventeen grain V-Max projectile combines explosive velocity with devastating terminal characteristics. Moreover, this cartridge delivers the flat trajectory small-game hunters desperately want without sacrifice in accuracy or reliability.

The velocity numbers command immediate respect. You’re launching projectiles at 2550 feet per second with 245 foot-pounds of muzzle energy—ballistics that flatten trajectory across typical varmint hunting distances. Consequently, wind deflection becomes minimal and holdover calculations disappear entirely. This velocity advantage separates the 17 HMR from slower rimfire alternatives.

V-Max bullets perform where it matters most. The polymer tip creates a varmint-specific design that fragments violently on impact, destroying tissue without excessive penetration or ricochet risk. Additionally, CCI manufactures these rounds to exacting standards that ensure consistent velocities from round to round. Your rifle responds with tighter groups when ammunition performs uniformly throughout extended shooting sessions.

The 17 HMR delivers accuracy that stuns shooters switching from larger varmint calibers. Tight groups materialize at extended ranges. Furthermore, minimal recoil eliminates shooter fatigue during prairie dog town operations. You maintain precision across dozens of shots without compensation for human error.

CCI packaged this ammunition for serious varmint operations. Fifty rounds per box, twenty boxes per case gives you 1000 total rounds for sustained hunting. That volume supports multiple hunting trips or intensive prairie operations. Finally, the 17 HMR cartridge rewards careful shot placement with rapid, humane harvests across open terrain.
