Hornady 17 Cal 20gr V-MAX
The Hornady 17 Cal 20gr V-MAX bullet is the pinnacle of specialized varmint performance, delivering exceptional straight-line trajectories, enhanced accuracy, and explosive terminal results. Designed for precision, this .172″ caliber projectile is ideal for small game and varmint hunters who demand flat-shooting, high-speed performance at long distances.
POLYMER TIP
The V-MAX bullet features a hollow cavity beneath a hard polymer tip. Upon impact, the tip drives into the core, initiating rapid fragmentation and creating a devastating wound channel—even at lower velocities.
HIGHER BALLISTIC COEFFICIENT
Hornady engineers have optimized the V-MAX design with a sharp, pointed polymer tip and aerodynamic profile. This configuration enhances flight stability and increases the ballistic coefficient for superior accuracy and flatter trajectories.
SWAGED LEAD CORE
The bullet’s swaged lead core is precisely formed around the tip cavity. This internal design ensures that the tip can build energy before impact, generating violent fragmentation and consistent performance.
PRECISE BOATTAIL & FLATBASE DESIGNS
Depending on the specific grain and application, Hornady utilizes tailored boattail or flatbase profiles for improved in-flight stability, particularly over long-range shots.
Whether you’re eliminating pests or targeting varmints from a distance, the Hornady 17 Cal 20gr V-MAX bullet delivers pinpoint precision and explosive on-target performance.
