How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 4" vital zone, ±2" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 200 yards.

Product Overview
Remington's Premier Magnum .17 HMR 17-grain AccuTip is a polymer-tipped load made for small game. Remington sets a polymer tip in the nose of the AccuTip over a thin copper jacket. It leaves the muzzle at 2,550 fps with 245 ft-lbs and a G1 BC of .125.
Zeroed at 125 yards it drops 1.4 inches at 150 yards, and from a 100-yard zero 2.6 inches. At 100 yards it is doing 1,901 fps.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady's Varmint Express 17-grain V-Max starts at the same 2,550 fps on the same G1 BC of .125 and prints the same path at 150 yards, with Hornady selling it for varmints. Winchester's Rimfire .17 HMR 15.5-grain NTX matches that muzzle speed with a lead-free copper-alloy bullet and 224 ft-lbs.
- Remington sells it for small game, where the other 17-grain tipped loads in the caliber are sold for varmints
- Nothing in .17 HMR starts faster, and nothing in the caliber drops less at 150 yards
- 21 ft-lbs more at the muzzle than Winchester's Rimfire .17 HMR 15.5-grain NTX
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
- Hornady's Varmint Express 17-grain V-Max matches it on speed and on path, so nothing downrange separates them
