Who This Is For
This load is ideal for varmint hunters targeting prairie dogs, ground squirrels, foxes, and coyotes who need a high-velocity, lead-free option — whether due to California's non-lead hunting regulations or personal preference. It's equally well-suited for the competitive plinker or small-game shooter who wants the precision of the 17 HMR paired with Hornady's legendary bullet technology.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the NTX bullet different from a standard V-MAX bullet?
The NTX (Non-Toxic Expanding) bullet uses a lead-free copper alloy core with a polymer tip, making it compliant with non-lead hunting regulations — including those in California. While the V-MAX uses a traditional lead core for similar ballistics, the NTX delivers comparable velocity and devastating terminal expansion without any lead content, making it the go-to choice for hunting in condor zones or other restricted areas.
What firearms are compatible with this 17 HMR ammunition?
This ammunition is chambered for the 17 HMR (Hornady Magnum Rimfire) cartridge and is compatible with any rifle, pistol, or revolver specifically chambered in 17 HMR. Popular platforms include the Savage A17, Ruger 77/17, CZ 455, and Taurus 17 HMR revolvers. Always confirm your firearm's chamber marking before use — do not attempt to fire in 17 HM2 or 22 LR chambered firearms.
How far is this load effective for varmint hunting?
The Hornady 17 HMR NTX 15.5 Grain load is highly effective on small varmints out to approximately 150 yards under normal field conditions, with capable accuracy extending to 200 yards for skilled shooters using quality optics. The flat trajectory and high velocity minimize holdover at typical varminting distances, making it an excellent choice for open-field prairie dog towns and pasture predator control.
