Description
The Remington Premier AccuTip Varmint in .17 Remington pairs proven AccuTip-V ballistics with the reliability of factory-loaded brass cases. Loaded to 4250 feet per second with a 20-grain polymer-tipped bullet, this load delivers the kind of flat trajectory and precision that makes the .17 Rem a go-to choice for dedicated varmint control work. The .17 Remington has earned respect in the field for its ability to deliver clean kills at extended range while generating virtually no recoil, making it easier to stay on target and spot your shot.
AccuTip-V Terminal Performance
The gold polymer tip on the AccuTip-V is engineered to drive rearward upon impact, triggering aggressive fragmentation in the thin jacket and soft lead core. This violent expansion is what makes the AccuTip-V stand out for varmint work. You get the kind of on-target energy dump that minimizes exit damage on fur-bearing animals and keeps follow-up shots simple on smaller targets. The bullet design balances toughness enough to maintain integrity through the bore while staying responsive enough to break apart reliably downrange.
Consistent Ballistics for Precision Work
These factory loads deliver the kind of shot-to-shot consistency that serious varminters expect. With reloadable brass cases, you've got the option to hand-tailor future loads once you've worked up what your rifle likes. The 20-grain bullet weight sits at that sweet spot for velocity and stability in modern .17 Rem rifles, giving you the flat shooting characteristics that define the cartridge's appeal. At ranges where most varmint work happens, this load performs reliably and consistently enough that you can focus on fieldcraft instead of worrying about your ammunition.
Purpose-Built for Varmint Control
The .17 Remington itself is built around one job: precision varmint shooting with minimal risk to surrounding areas. The tiny entrance wound and typical lack of an exit hole make it ideal for hunters working predator or small-game control where you want to preserve fur or minimize collateral damage. Combined with Remington's manufacturing standards and the proven track record of the AccuTip platform, this ammunition gives you a professional-grade varmint load that performs when it counts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the brass reloadable on this .17 Rem AccuTip load?
Yes, the AccuTip-V comes loaded in reloadable brass cases with standard centerfire primers. This lets you preserve brass for future handloads once you've found what your rifle prefers. The .17 Remington is a popular handload cartridge, so being able to save and reload these cases is a major advantage if you shoot regularly.
What makes the AccuTip-V different from other .17 Rem varmint loads?
The AccuTip-V uses a gold polymer tip that drives rearward upon impact, initiating violent fragmentation in the thin jacket and soft lead core. This design generates the kind of explosive terminal performance that makes the .17 Rem effective on varmints while minimizing exit damage. The polymer tip also improves ballistic coefficient compared to hollow-point designs.
How does the .17 Remington compare to other varmint calibers?
The .17 Rem fires at over 4000 fps with minimal recoil and an extremely flat trajectory, making it excellent for precision shooting at extended range. It produces tiny entrance wounds with little or no exit damage, which is ideal for fur-bearing animals where pelt preservation matters. The main trade-off is that the light bullet can be wind-sensitive at longer distances compared to heavier calibers like the .223.
Can I use this ammo in older .17 Remington rifles?
This AccuTip-V load works in any standard .17 Remington rifle. Whether you're running an older Remington 700 or a newer rifle, the 20-grain bullet at 4250 fps should perform reliably. Just make sure your barrel is clean before shooting, as the small .17 caliber can build fouling faster than larger cartridges.
