.17 HMR Ammunition FAQ

Q: What is the best 17 hmr ammo for varmint hunting vs. target shooting? A: The best 17 hmr ammo depends entirely on your target. For varmint and pest control, polymer-tipped V-MAX bullets (like those found in hornady 17 hmr ammo) offer rapid, explosive expansion on impact. For small game hunting where meat damage needs to be minimized, or for pure target shooting, hollow point (HP) or full metal jacket (FMJ) profiles (like those offered in the cci 17 hmr ammo lineup) provide deeper penetration with cleaner entry holes.

Q: Do they make subsonic 17 hmr ammo? A: Yes, manufacturers do produce specialized 17 hmr subsonic ammo. Designed to travel below the speed of sound (typically around 1,050 feet per second), these rounds eliminate the loud “sonic crack” associated with high-velocity rimfire loads. Subsonic rounds are incredibly quiet when paired with a suppressor, making them perfect for stealthy backyard pest control or shooting in noise-sensitive areas.

Q: Why should I buy 17 HMR ammo in bulk? A: High-volume varmint hunting or target sessions can burn through ammunition quickly. Purchasing a 17 hmr ammo box of 500 or a 17 hmr ammo box of 1000 ensures you secure a lower cost-per-round, guarantees that all your ammunition comes from the same factory manufacturing lot (critical for extreme accuracy), and saves you from paying multiple shipping fees.
