Hornady 17 Cal 25gr V-MAX
The Hornady 17 Cal 25gr V-MAX represents what a specialized varmint bullet can achieve, offering straight-line trajectories, enhanced accuracy, dramatic expansion, and explosive fragmentation at wide distances and velocities. Built with a .172″ diameter, this projectile delivers consistent precision and devastating terminal effects, making it ideal for small game and predator hunting.
POLYMER TIP
The secret to the explosive terminal performance of the V-MAX lies in the hollow cavity between the polymer tip’s shaft and the body of the bullet. On impact, the hard shaft compresses into the core, causing rapid fragmentation even at velocities as low as 1600 fps.
HIGHER BALLISTIC COEFFICIENT
Hornady engineers combine a sharp polymer tip with a streamlined profile to achieve a high ballistic coefficient. The .172″ bullet design maintains flat trajectories and delivers reliable performance at extended ranges.
SWAGED LEAD CORE
Precision swaging ensures a consistent lead core that wraps perfectly around the tip cavity. This uniformity enhances accuracy and initiates controlled expansion upon contact.
PRECISE BOATTAIL & FLATBASE DESIGNS
Depending on the application, V-MAX bullets incorporate either boattail or flatbase bases to enhance in-flight stability and maximize long-range potential.
Hornady’s .172″ 25gr V-MAX bullet is a top performer for varmint hunters who require speed, precision, and explosive results in every shot.
