The Hornady 17 Cal Varmint Bullets in 15.5 grain NTX are engineered for shooters who need lead-free ammunition in states and regions with restrictions on traditional ammunition. Whether you're a reloader in California or another area with lead-free mandates, or you simply prefer non-toxic projectiles for varmint hunting, these bullets deliver the accuracy and terminal performance you'd expect from Hornady without compromise. The NTX (Non-Toxic eXpanding) design uses a frangible copper-alloy core paired with Hornady's signature polymer tip, giving you a round that shoots flat and expands reliably on impact.
Built around match-grade AMP bullet jackets, these 15.5-grain varmint rounds are optimized for the .17 caliber platform. The polymer tip and streamlined profile keep your trajectory flat and your shot placement precise across typical varmint-hunting distances. The frangible core design features a small void between the tip and the core material—the same cavity principle Hornady uses in their V-MAX line—which allows energy to build and transfer decisively into the bullet's center, triggering rapid expansion and fragmentation on target. This construction means instant knockdown and minimal over-penetration, important traits when you're hunting small game in areas where lead ammunition isn't legal.
Each box contains 100 count, giving you plenty of rounds to develop loads, practice, or stock up for the season. If you reload for .17 caliber rifles and operate in a lead-free zone—or if you've made the environmental choice to go non-toxic across the board—the Hornady 17 NTX is a proven, purpose-built option that doesn't sacrifice ballistics or terminal performance.

Yes. The Hornady 17 NTX is specifically designed as a lead-free alternative using a frangible copper-alloy core. They are California-compatible and comply with lead-ammunition restrictions in regulated hunting areas.
These are .17 caliber varmint bullets designed for rifles chambered in .17 caliber. Confirm your rifle's exact caliber before purchasing.
Each box contains 100 bullets, giving you ample inventory for reloading, load development, and field use.
The NTX design is engineered to deliver reliable expansion and fragmentation comparable to lead-core rounds. The frangible copper-alloy core and cavity design work together to build and transfer energy decisively on impact, though specific performance depends on your load development and rifle combination.
