Federal’s V-Shok line of ammunition is favored among discerning varminters for its great reliability, superior accuracy, and the tremendous force it conveys upon impact. This offering by Federal in 17 HMR features a 17 grain bullet thinly jacketed in Speer’s TNT, with fluting along 90% of its surface to ensure total bullet disruption upon impact. That jacket so improves its soft core hollow point bullet’s terminal performance that woodchuck and prairie dogs won’t stand a chance against it.

This jacketed hollow point also offers a brass casing with a reliable rimfire primer, as well as a 2,550 fps muzzle velocity. It is ideal for predators and small game in addition to the aforementioned varmints, and at its low price you won’t mind testing out its variety of applications. Based in Anoka, Minnesota, Federal has earned a reputation for their commitment to manufacturing excellent ammunition since their establishment in 1922. There is good reason why so many shooters consider their products to be the gold standard.
