Winchester Varmint HV 17 WSM 20gr Polymer Tip Ammunition /50

Winchester Varmint HV 17 Winchester Super Magnum 20gr Polymer Tip Ammunition /50

Winchester Varmint High Velocity ammunition was developed as a fast, extremely accurate line for varmint and predator hunters. Loaded with clean burning powder and premium, trusted bullets that deliver explosive expansion. Varmint HE ammunition delivers excellent terminal performance producing quick, humane kills. The revolutionary 17 Winchester Super Magnum is the fastest, most innovative rimfire cartridge ever developed. Based off of a 27 caliber power fastener blank, this cartridge produces centerfire velocities and energy in a more cost-efficient rimfire package.

Hornady's V-Max Bullets feature a polymer tip which enhances accuracy and promotes devastating expansion. The tip raises the ballistic coefficient for faster velocity and also acts as a wedge, initiating bullet expansion. The flat base creates in-flight stability for long-range shooting. Hornady's swaging process creates precise formation of the core around the tip of the bullet, creating a build-up of energy which contributes to its phenomenal performance.

The company who brought to life "the Gun that Won the West" is the same company who today continues to supply sportsmen with the best sporting ammunition in the world.Founded in 1866, Winchester is one of the world's most widely recognized and respected brand names.

For more than 140 years, the name "Winchester" has come to mean many things to many people. To most folks it means ammunition and the Gun that Won the West. For many others, however, it also rekindles images of fine hand tools and cutlery, fishing tackle, the classic artwork and hunting traditions.

To encourage the preservation of wildlife habitat, Winchester is a major sponsor of conservation organizations such as Ducks Unlimited and Quail Unlimited. And it's a major backer of sporting clays and other clay target shooting games.

About the 17 WSM Cartridge:
The .17 Winchester Super Magnum, is a rimfire rifle cartridge developed by the ammunition company Winchester in 2012. It descended from the .27 caliber nail gun blank by necking down the blank case to take a .17 caliber (4.5 mm) bullet. Initial loadings will be a 20 grain bullet, delivering muzzle velocities around 3000 ft/s.

Currently, rifles firing the 17 WSM are the Savage B-Mag bolt action, heavy barrel B-mag Target edition. Ruger Model 77/17, Winchester 1885 Low Wall single shot, the Volquartsen semi-automatic, H-S Precision Pro Series 2000, and the semi-automatic Franklin Armory F-17. The F-17 is the first gas-operated rimfire firearm, designed to handle the higher pressures of this cartridge. Also recently Jard Inc. joined this list with their J71 17 WSM AR 15 rifle.
