The Remington 20023 Magnum Rimfire delivers exceptional terminal performance for varmint hunting and precision shooting applications. This 17 HMR ammunition features a 17-grain jacketed hollow point bullet engineered for rapid expansion and maximum energy transfer on small game targets.
What Makes This Different
Remington's precision manufacturing process ensures consistent velocities averaging 2,550 fps from rifle-length barrels. The jacketed hollow point design expands reliably at impact velocities above 1,800 fps, creating devastating wound channels in prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and similar-sized varmints. Quality control standards maintain bullet weight variance within ±0.5 grains across production lots.
