Built Around the 20 Grain XTP Bullet

Hornady’s XTP bullet design gives this .17 HMR load a controlled-expansion profile. The 20 grain bullet is heavier than many common .17 HMR varmint loads, making it a useful option for shooters who want a balance of speed, accuracy, and deeper performance on appropriate small-game and varmint targets.

This load is a good fit for .17 HMR rifles that shoot heavier 20 grain bullets well.

Why Choose Hornady 17 HMR 20gr XTP?

Hornady 17 HMR 20gr XTP ammo is a strong option for shooters who want more bullet weight than lighter .17 HMR loads. The XTP hollow point bullet is designed for controlled expansion, while the .17 HMR cartridge gives shooters a flat-shooting rimfire option for field and range use.

The 500-round quantity is useful for shooters who already know their rifle performs well with this load and want a larger supply for regular practice or field use.

Best Uses

This Hornady Varmint Express .17 HMR 20gr XTP ammo is a practical choice for:

• Varmint hunting where legal
• Small-game hunting where legal

• Field practice
• Precision rimfire shooting
• Function testing in .17 HMR rifles

Always confirm that your firearm is clearly marked for .17 HMR before use. Do not use .17 HMR ammunition in firearms marked for a different rimfire cartridge.
