The Browning BPR Performance Rimfire ammunition delivers exceptional accuracy and terminal performance in 17 HMR chamberings. This premium rimfire load features a 17-grain polymer tip bullet engineered for rapid expansion and consistent trajectories at extended ranges. Hunters and precision shooters rely on BPR ammunition for its match-grade consistency and flat shooting characteristics.
What Makes This Different
Browning's BPR line utilizes advanced powder formulations and strict quality control measures that exceed standard rimfire ammunition tolerances. The polymer tip design initiates controlled expansion upon impact while maintaining aerodynamic efficiency downrange. Laboratory testing shows velocity consistency within 15 fps standard deviation, compared to 25-30 fps for conventional rimfire loads. This precision translates to tighter groups and more predictable bullet drop compensation.
Key Features
- 17-grain polymer tip bullet for rapid expansion and flat trajectory
- Match-grade powder charge for consistent velocities and accuracy
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and extract cleanly
- Optimized for bolt-action and semi-automatic 17 HMR rifles
- 50 rounds per box provides ample supply for range sessions
- Quality control testing ensures reliable ignition and performance
- Polymer tip maintains bullet shape during magazine feeding
Field testing demonstrates effective performance on small game at ranges exceeding 150 yards, with the polymer tip ensuring reliable expansion even at reduced velocities. The ammunition functions reliably in popular 17 HMR platforms including the Savage B-Mag, Ruger American Rimfire, and CZ 455. Temperature stability remains consistent across hunting conditions, maintaining accuracy in both cold morning hunts and warm afternoon range sessions.
