17 HMR – 17 Gr V-Max – Federal Premium (P771) – 1000 Rounds

This 17 HMR load (P771) gives small game hunters speed, precision, and explosive V-Max performance in a flat-shooting rimfire cartridge. Federal loads it with a 17 grain V-Max bullet. The polymer tip helps the bullet expand fast. The sleek profile also helps it hold a clean flight path. As a result, this round works extremely well on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, rabbits, and similar small game.

Federal rates this load at 2,530 fps and 242 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Therefore, it gives the 17 HMR its signature advantage: high speed with very light recoil. The bullet gets to the target quickly. Meanwhile, the shooter can stay steady behind the rifle and watch the hit through the scope. That makes this load especially useful for varmint fields and small targets at distance.

The V-Max bullet gives the cartridge its bite. It opens quickly on impact and transfers energy fast. Moreover, the 17 grain weight keeps trajectory flat for a rimfire. That matters when targets are small and ranges vary. Instead of guessing through heavy bullet drop, shooters get a fast rimfire round that feels crisp and predictable.

Each box contains 50 rounds. Each case includes 20 boxes, totaling 1000 rounds. Consequently, this case suits high-volume varmint shooting, seasonal small-game use, and long-term storage. Federal loads this ammunition in brass rimfire cases, so the cases are not reloadable. Still, the bulk format gives serious shooters enough ammunition to stay supplied through long range days.

This is exactly where 17 HMR shines. It shoots fast, stays flat, recoils lightly, and delivers sharp V-Max terminal performance on small game.
