Frequently Asked Questions
Federal 17 HMR Ammo for Sale
What is the most accurate ammo for 17 HMR?
Accuracy varies by rifle, but Hornady 17-grain V-Max is the most consistently accurate load across different rifles. CCI and Winchester offerings also perform well. Since individual rifles respond differently to specific ammunition, testing several brands through your gun remains the most reliable way to determine the best match.
What grain is best for 17 HMR ammo?
The 17-grain load is most common and offers higher velocity with a flatter trajectory. The 20-grain provides slightly better wind resistance. Most rifles shoot 17-grain accurately, making it the standard choice for varmint hunting, but testing both in your specific rifle determines which performs best.
What is a 17 HMR round good for?
17 HMR is ideal for varmint hunting—prairie dogs, groundhogs, squirrels—and small predators like foxes out to 150 yards. It shoots flatter and resists wind better than .22 LR. Many shooters also use it for target shooting and plinking where noise and cost aren't concerns.
Is there a difference between 17 and 17 HMR?
"17" alone isn't a standard cartridge designation. You likely mean .17 HMR versus .17 WSM. The HMR fires a 17-grain bullet at 2550 fps; the WSM launches a 20-grain bullet at 3000 fps. WSM shoots flatter with less wind drift but costs more and has fewer ammunition options.
