Remington Premier 17 HMR 17gr Accutip-V Boat Tail — 500 Rounds

The Remington Premier 17 HMR is the premium varmint load in the .17 HMR category.

A 17-grain Accutip-V boat-tail at 2,550 fps and 245 ft-lbs — Remington’s polymer-tipped expanding varmint bullet in the boat-tail configuration that improves BC over flat-base alternatives.

At $0.45 per round for 500 rounds, this is the standard varmint tier in the .17 HMR cluster — competitively priced against CCI V-MAX loads with the BC advantage of the boat-tail base.

The Accutip-V — Remington’s .17 HMR Varmint Bullet

The Accutip-V is Remington’s purpose-built varmint rimfire bullet — a polymer-tipped, thin-jacketed boat-tail. The Remington Premier 17 HMR Accutip-V is defined by three design choices:

Polymer tip (Accutip). The polymer tip initiates expansion mechanically on impact, providing consistent expansion initiation regardless of impact velocity or angle. For rimfire varmint shooting at varying ranges, this consistency matters — the bullet expands reliably at 50 yards and at 150 yards.

Thin jacket (V — varmint). The thin copper jacket allows rapid, violent expansion and fragmentation on contact with small varmints. Quick energy transfer produces clean kills on prairie dogs and ground squirrels. It also minimises ricochet risk.

Boat-tail base. The tapered base reduces base drag, improving BC over flat-base .17-caliber bullets.

For the Remington Premier 17 HMR, this produces better retained velocity and a slightly flatter trajectory at the 100–200 yard ranges typical of .17 HMR hunting.

.17 HMR Varmint Context

The .17 HMR produces 2,550 fps — at the velocity ceiling of the rimfire spectrum.

At these velocities, the Remington Premier 17 HMR Accutip-V delivers explosive expansion on contact: the polymer tip initiates immediate petal expansion and fragmentation for clean kills without wounded animals.

For prairie dog towns and squirrel season where high round counts are typical, the 500-round bulk pack at $0.45/round reduces per-session cost vs individual box purchases.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Accutip-V and how does it differ from CCI V-MAX in .17 HMR? Both are 17-grain polymer-tipped expanding varmint bullets. The Accutip-V uses Remington’s design with a boat-tail base; CCI’s V-MAX uses a flat base. The boat-tail provides marginally better BC — the bullet retains velocity slightly better at distance. Terminal performance is similar: both produce rapid expansion and fragmentation on small varmints at .17 HMR velocities.

Why does the boat-tail matter at .17 HMR distances? At the 100–200 yard ranges typical of .17 HMR hunting, the BC difference between a flat base and boat-tail in a 17-grain bullet is small but measurable. The boat-tail reduces base drag, producing a slightly flatter trajectory and better velocity retention for shots at 150+ yards. For close-range varminting under 100 yards, the difference is negligible.

Is this the same AccuTip as the Remington sabot slug? No. The Accutip-V is a varmint rimfire bullet — “V” for varmint. The AccuTip in the 12-gauge sabot slug is a centrefire bonded hunting projectile. Both use a polymer tip, but the Accutip-V is thin-jacketed and designed to fragment; the AccuTip slug is bonded and designed to mushroom and retain weight.

How does this compare to the CCI 17 HMR FMJ 20gr also in this category? Different applications. The FMJ is 20 grains, non-expanding — for target shooting, pelt preservation, and ranges that prohibit expanding bullets. The Accutip-V is 17 grains, expanding — for varmint hunting where explosive terminal performance is desired. The Accutip-V is also faster (2,550 vs 2,375 fps) and lighter.

Is .17 HMR the same as .17 HM2? No — different cartridges, different chambers, not interchangeable. .17 HMR is larger and faster. See the .17 HM2 category for the smaller Mach 2 rimfire.

Is the casing reloadable? No — rimfire primer compound is consumed on firing. Rimfire cases are not reloadable.

How many rounds is 500? 10 × 50-round boxes.

What’s the per-round cost? $222.99 / 500 = $0.446 per round.
