The Hornady 17 WSM rimfire cartridge offers an excellent option for hunters targeting varmints such as prairie dogs, ground squirrels, coyotes, and foxes. This high-speed rimfire ammunition fills the performance gap between the 17 HMR and the centre-fire 17 Hornet, providing a versatile choice for various hunting scenarios.

Each 17 WSM cartridge features a 20gr V-Max® bullet, designed for exceptional accuracy at long range. The polymer tip of the V-Max® bullet ensures dramatic expansion upon impact, making it highly effective for varmint control. With a muzzle velocity of 3,000 fps, the 17 WSM maintains over 2,000 fps of velocity at 200 yards, delivering ample energy for reliable performance on varmints at extended distances.
