The Hornady V-MAX 17 Cal 25 Gr Flat Base Bullets are purpose-built for varmint hunters and precision reloaders who demand explosive terminal performance on small game and varmints. This box of 100 flat base bullets combines a polymer tip design with a match-grade AMP jacket to deliver reliable expansion and fragmentation across a wide velocity range—even at velocities as low as 1600 fps. If you're handloading for .17 caliber rifles and want predictable, dramatic results on varmints, these are the rounds to trust.
What sets the V-MAX apart is its engineering: the polymer tip houses a hollow cavity that acts as a hydraulic piston. On impact, the tip's hard shaft drives into the swaged lead core, building energy before causing violent expansion and fragmentation of both jacket and core. This design works reliably even at lower terminal velocities, which matters when you're shooting varmints at extended range where velocity drops off. The result is consistent, explosive terminal performance rather than pencil-through performance—the difference between a clean kill and a wounded animal.
The aerodynamic profile and high ballistic coefficient keep these bullets on a flat trajectory, critical for varmint hunting where holdover mistakes waste shots. The swaged lead core and precise boattail design (this is the flat base variant) provide in-flight stability and accuracy at all ranges. The match-grade AMP jacket concentricity ensures consistency from round to round, so your handloads shoot tight groups. For reloaders chasing accuracy and terminal performance in the .17 caliber, the V-MAX is the industry standard.
| Caliber | .17 |
| Weight | 25 grains |
| Base Type | Flat Base |
| Quantity per Box | 100 |
| Bullet Type | Polymer Tip Varmint |
| Jacket Type | Match-Grade AMP |
These are .17 caliber bullets designed for rifles chambered in .17 rimfire or centerfire cartridges. Verify your rifle's specific caliber before loading.
Yes. The V-MAX is engineered to expand reliably even at velocities as low as 1600 fps, making it effective for varmint hunting at extended distances where velocity has fallen off compared to point-blank range.
Each box contains 100 loose bullets ready for handloading. No cases, primers, or powder are included.
Yes. The V-MAX is a specialized varmint bullet designed for explosive terminal performance and fragmentation on small game and varmints, delivering reliable results across a wide range of distances and velocities.
