Hornady VMax Varmint 17cal 25gr 17105 Box of 100

With its combination of proven materials, innovative design and streamlined profile, the
Hornady V-MAX represents the pinnacle of what a specialized varmint bullet can achieve, offering straight-line trajectories, enhanced accuracy, dramatic expansion, and explosive fragmentation at a wide range of distances and velocities. The industry's leading varmint bullet with a polymer tip and streamlined design results in flat trajectories. The concentricity of the match-grade AMP bullet jacket provides maximum accuracy at all ranges as well as explosive expansion, even at velocities as low as 1600 fps.

POLYMER TIP
The secret to the explosive terminal performance of the V-Max is a hollow cavity resting between the tip's shaft and the body of the bullet. Upon impact, the hard shaft builds up speed and energy before driving into the core, causing the entire package to rapidly expand to the point of violent fragmentation, even at low terminal velocities.

HIGHER BALLISTIC COEFFICIENT
Hornady combines the sharp, pointed polymer tip with the most aerodynamic profile for a high ballistic coefficient. The V-MAX profile also provides the maximum bearing surface for added in-flight stability.

SWAGED LEAD CORE
The swaging process allows precise formation of the core up and around the tip, with a cavity under the tip's stem. This allows the tip to build up energy before smashing into the core, causing dramatic fragmentation of the core and jacket.

PRECISE BOATTAIL & FLATBASE DESIGNS
Utilizing the proper base design provides incredible in-flight stability for long-range shooting.
 

Best Suited For

• 🐇 Small game and varmint hunting (rabbits, rodents, pests)
• 🎯 Shooters prioritizing high accuracy and flat trajectory
• 🔁 Reloaders using .17 caliber cartridges (e.g., .17 Hornet, .17 Remington, .17 Fireball)
• 💥 Situations requiring rapid expansion with minimal over-penetration

When To Use It

Use the 25gr V-MAX when:

• Hunting small, soft-bodied targets at short to medium ranges
• You want explosive impact and immediate energy transfer
• Shooting in areas where reduced ricochet risk is preferred
• Reloading for precision varmint rifles

⚠️ Not suitable for medium or large game due to very rapid fragmentation and shallow penetration.
