The Aguila 1B222347 delivers precision varmint control with 20-grain jacketed hollow point bullets engineered for rapid expansion and clean kills. This 17 HMR ammunition combines Aguila's proven manufacturing standards with ballistics optimized for small game hunting and pest control applications.
What Makes This Different
Aguila's jacketed hollow point design creates controlled expansion that transfers maximum energy to targets while maintaining structural integrity through the barrel. The 20-grain bullet weight provides an ideal balance between velocity and knockdown power, delivering flatter trajectories than heavier alternatives while maintaining sufficient energy for effective varmint elimination at extended ranges.
Key Features
- 20-grain jacketed hollow point bullets for rapid expansion and energy transfer
- 17 HMR rimfire cartridge with consistent primer ignition
- Boxer-primed brass cases enable reloading for cost-conscious shooters
- Muzzle velocity of approximately 2,375 fps for flat shooting trajectories
- 50-round boxes provide ample supply for extended range sessions
- Compatible with all 17 HMR chambered rifles and handguns
- Factory-loaded ammunition ensures consistent powder charges and seating depth
Field performance centers on the hollow point's ability to expand rapidly upon impact while maintaining accuracy at distances up to 150 yards. The 17 HMR cartridge excels in varmint hunting scenarios where precise shot placement eliminates prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and similar-sized pests without excessive pelt damage. Range applications benefit from the consistent ballistics and clean-burning powder that minimizes fouling during high-volume shooting sessions.
