Following the victory in World War II, cheap surplus munitions were flooding the civilian market. While great for casual recreational shooters, the lack of quality options affected hunters needing to put food on the table. In 1949 Joyce Hornady established his company to help alleviate this shortage by manufacturing premium ammunition components. He established a culture of superior precision and terminal ballistics that is still going strong today. Decades later Hornady has become a cornerstone of the industry and is beloved by shooters. Their innovative product development and adherence to strict quality control standards are second to none.

As the name suggests, Hornady's Varmint Express line has been specifically optimized for harvesting small game animals and ridding your property of unwanted nuisances. The .17 HMR's V-Max projectile features a swaged lead core that is encased by an AMP jacket and topped off with a Heat Shield polymer tip. Combine this with a streamlined profile and you have a highly accurate, flat shooting, and lethal bullet. On impact the polymer tip is forced into the core to initiate uniform expansion. With Varmint Express you will be effortlessly dropping squirrels, rabbits, coyotes, and everything in between. The velocity for this load measures at an impressive 2550 feet per second with 245 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle. Stock up on premium .17 HMR with this 500 round bulk case from Hornady.
