The Hornady Superformance Varmint .17 Hornet 20gr V-Max (Hornady part no. 83005) pairs a 20-grain V-Max with .17 Hornet chambering, built for varmint and predator hunting. Hornady engineers it to shoot flat and open fast on thin-skinned game. The V-Max is built to come apart violently on impact, dumping energy fast on thin-skinned varmints. In rifle ammunition, this is the load for a long afternoon on the prairie dog town or coyote stand.
