Hornady, Superformance, 17 Hornet, V Max, 20 Grain, and 25 Rounds

The Hornady Superformance Varmint 17 Hornet 20 gr. V-Max delivers a high-performance option for serious varmint hunters and pest-control professionals who need flat trajectories and rapid terminal expansion, with a muzzle velocity of 3650 fps and muzzle energy of 592 ft-lbs that translate to quick, humane takedowns on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, coyotes, and similar targets at extended ranges. This Superformance series round pairs a lightweight 20-grain V-Max polymer-tipped bullet with a reliable brass casing for consistent ignition and feeding in modern rifles chambered for the 17 Hornet, and its aerodynamic profile helps minimize wind drift for cleaner follow-up shots. Hunters will appreciate the cartridge's ability to transfer energy rapidly while still providing dependable penetration for critical hits, and range shooters will find the velocity and ballistic uniformity useful when dialing elevation for longer shots. Made in the United States and packaged with attention to safe handling—marked as ORMD and HazAir compliant—this round is a go-to choice when you need a dedicated varmint load that balances high speed, controlled expansion, and practical field performance.
