The \u003cstrong\u003eHornady 17 CAL .172 25 GR V-MAX Projectile - 100pk\u003c\/strong\u003e is Hornady's benchmark varmint projectile, purpose-built for the flat-shooting, high-velocity demands of .17 calibre cartridges. At just 25 grains with a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.23 and a sectional density of 0.121, this bullet is engineered to launch fast and fly flat, making it a natural fit for pest control and varmint hunting where extended range shots on small targets are the norm. Packed 100 to a box, these are a serious reloading option for shooters who put volume through their .17s and aren't prepared to compromise on consistency or terminal performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHornady 17 CAL .172 25 GR V-MAX Projectile - 100pk Key Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalibre and Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sized at .172 inches (4.37mm) for .17 CAL cartridges, ensuring correct fit and function for compatible .17 calibre reloads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBullet Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 grains (1.62g), a lightweight profile that pairs with the high velocities typical of .17 calibre cartridges to produce an exceptionally flat trajectory over distance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed Polymer Tip (V-MAX):\u003c\/strong\u003e The signature red polymer tip serves a dual purpose: it improves the ballistic coefficient by streamlining the bullet's profile, and on impact it acts as a wedge to initiate rapid, reliable expansion from the moment of contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAMP Bullet Jacket:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Hornady AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) copper jacket is drawn to match-grade concentricity tolerances, providing consistent bearing surface and maximum in-bore stability. The jacket is also built to handle the fast twist rates common in modern .17 calibre varmint rifles without jacket failure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwaged Lead Core:\u003c\/strong\u003e The lead core is swaged under high pressure for precise formation, ensuring uniform weight distribution and promoting consistent, dramatic fragmentation on impact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Expansion Velocity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reliable expansion is engineered to initiate at velocities as low as 1,600 fps (487 m\/s), maintaining terminal effectiveness even at extended range as velocity bleeds off.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBallistic Coefficient (G1):\u003c\/strong\u003e A G1 BC of 0.23 is competitive for a 25 grain .17 calibre projectile, helping resist wind deflection and sustain velocity downrange relative to bullet weight class.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoattail and Flatbase Design Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hornady engineers the V-MAX with refined boattail and flatbase geometry for in-flight stability, contributing to the consistent accuracy the V-MAX line is known for across a wide range of varmint rifles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 projectiles per box, suited to reloaders who shoot regularly and prefer to buy in volume without sacrificing quality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the reloader running a .17 HMR equivalent centrefire or any .17 calibre platform built for serious pest control and varmint work, Hornady's V-MAX line has long been the standard other projectiles are measured against.
