17 HMR – 20 Gr JSP – Remington Magnum Rimfire (20025) – 500 Rounds

This 17 HMR load (20025) gives small-game and varmint hunters a heavier bullet option with more penetration than lightweight polymer-tip designs. Remington loads it with a 20 grain jacketed soft point bullet. The JSP profile keeps the bullet tougher on impact. As a result, this load performs well on rabbits, raccoons, prairie dogs, squirrels, and similar pests where controlled expansion matters more than explosive fragmentation.

Remington rates this load at 2,375 fps with 250 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Therefore, it still carries the flat trajectory and speed that made the 17 HMR popular in the first place. However, the heavier 20 grain bullet changes the character of the cartridge slightly. It bucks wind better than lighter 17 grain loads. Meanwhile, the soft point design penetrates deeper on tougher small game.

That difference becomes obvious in real field use. Lightweight V-Max bullets can fragment aggressively on impact. By comparison, this JSP load stays more controlled. Consequently, hunters often prefer it when shots involve brush, angled impacts, or slightly larger animals. The recoil still feels extremely light. The report stays sharp and fast. Yet the bullet carries a little more authority downrange.

Each box contains 50 rounds. Each case includes 10 boxes, totaling 500 rounds. That quantity works well for varmint shooters who burn through ammunition quickly during long field sessions. Moreover, the brass rimfire cases feed smoothly and resist corrosion well during storage.

This is practical 17 HMR hunting ammunition with more depth and stability than ultra-light varmint loads. It keeps the cartridge flat-shooting and fast while adding the tougher bullet profile many hunters actually prefer in the field.
