 General Information

The Hornady 17HMR 15.5gr NTX ammunition is designed for varmint hunting and target shooting. It features a 17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (17HMR) cartridge with a 15.5-grain (1.0 g) Nosler TNT (NTX) bullet.

 Bullet Type and Design

The bullet is a hollow-point, or expanding projectile, designed to expand upon impact. This design helps to reduce the trajectory of the bullet, making it more effective for varmint hunting and target shooting at long ranges.

 Velocity and Trajectory

The Hornady 17HMR 15.5gr NTX ammunition is known for its high velocity and flat trajectory, which makes it suitable for long-range shooting. The bullet leaves the muzzle at approximately 2,200 feet per second (FPS), with a muzzle energy of 170 foot-pounds (ft-lbs). This high velocity allows the bullet to maintain its trajectory over longer distances, making it effective for shots beyond 200 yards.

 Drop Characteristics

The bullet's trajectory is designed to minimize the drop at long ranges. The bullet begins to drop significantly at approximately 200 yards, with a drop of about 2.5 inches at 300 yards. This means that the bullet's trajectory levels off at around 200 yards, making it more accurate for shots beyond that distance.
