The Winchester Varmint HE 17 Winchester Super Magnum (17WSM) ammunition is engineered to provide a significant ballistic advantage over existing rimfire cartridges. This offering is the highest velocity rimfire cartridge currently available, optimizing trajectory and terminal performance for varmint applications.
Key Features
Superior Ballistic Performance
The 17WSM caliber, as utilized in the Varmint HE load, exhibits ballistic characteristics that exceed conventional rimfire cartridges. Its elevated muzzle velocity mitigates bullet drop and significantly reduces wind drift across practical engagement distances. This precision allows for extended effective range and improved shot placement under varying environmental conditions.
Optimized Projectile Design
This load features a 25-grain Polymer Tip (PT) projectile. The polymer tip design enhances aerodynamic efficiency, contributing to a flatter trajectory. Upon impact, the tip facilitates rapid, controlled expansion, ensuring effective energy transfer for varmint control and consistent terminal performance.
Reliable Rimfire Ignition
Each cartridge is manufactured to Winchester’s established standards, ensuring consistent primer ignition and propellant combustion. This attention to detail provides the reliability critical for field performance and consistent shot-to-shot ballistic uniformity.
