The Federal P770 Premium Varmint & Predator ammunition delivers devastating terminal performance on small game and varmints with its 17-grain Speer TNT jacketed hollow point design. This 17HMR cartridge combines Federal's precision manufacturing with Speer's explosive bullet technology for maximum stopping power on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and other pest species.
What Makes This Different
The Speer TNT (True Non-Toxic) bullet features a thin jacket and large hollow point cavity engineered for explosive expansion upon impact. Unlike standard varmint rounds that may pass through small targets, the TNT design transfers maximum energy into the target for immediate knockdown. Federal's premium brass cases and consistent powder charges deliver shot-to-shot accuracy that competitive shooters and hunters demand.
Key Features
- 17-grain Speer TNT jacketed hollow point for explosive expansion
- Federal Premium brass cases with boxer primers for reloadability
- Optimized powder charge for 2,550 fps muzzle velocity
- Consistent velocities within 15 fps standard deviation
- 50 rounds per box packaging for extended shooting sessions

Field testing demonstrates exceptional accuracy at ranges up to 150 yards, making this ammunition ideal for varmint hunting where precise shot placement matters. The explosive terminal performance eliminates the risk of wounded animals escaping, while the flat trajectory simplifies holdover calculations for shooters. Weather-sealed primers ensure reliable ignition in humid conditions and temperature extremes.
