The Winchester S17W20 Varmint HV ammunition delivers devastating terminal performance for small game and varmint hunters demanding precision at extended ranges. This 17 Winchester Super Magnum cartridge features a 20-grain polymer tip projectile engineered for rapid expansion and maximum energy transfer on impact.
What Makes This Different
The polymer tip design initiates controlled expansion while maintaining ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectory compared to traditional hollow point rounds. Winchester's Varmint HV line generates higher velocities than standard 17WSM loads, extending effective range and reducing wind drift. The consistent powder charge and quality control standards ensure shot-to-shot reliability that competitive shooters and hunters require.
