Description
The Remington Premier AccuTip-V .17 Remington Fireball combines efficiency with serious varmint performance. This load pushes a 20-grain polymer-tipped bullet to 4000 feet per second while using a relatively small powder charge, which means less barrel heat and fouling compared to larger cartridges. That efficiency matters when you're running high-volume prairie dog shoots or putting in a full day at the bench.
What Makes AccuTip-V Bullets Work
AccuTip's polymer tip is driven rearward on impact, causing the thin jacket and soft lead core to fragment violently. The result is rapid expansion and terminal performance that's well-suited to small game from ground squirrels to prairie dogs. The boat-tail design supports a flat trajectory and provides excellent downrange energy retention, which is particularly valuable when you need those extra yards of effective range.
Flat Trajectory and Precision Built In
With a 200-yard zero, you're only looking at about 2.5 inches of drop at 200 yards. That kind of predictable flight path takes the guesswork out of hold-over adjustments and lets you focus on shot placement. The ballistic coefficient of 0.185 keeps energy high out to typical varmint distances, and the low recoil (less than 1 foot-pound) means you stay behind the gun for quick follow-up shots if needed.
Premium Components Throughout
These are new-production rounds loaded in boxer-primed, reloadable brass cases with a non-corrosive primer. Each box contains 20 rounds ready to go, and the brass is suitable for reloading if you want to develop your own loads later. The standardized dimensions and manufacturing tolerances mean consistent velocity and performance from shot to shot.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the .17 Remington Fireball best used for?
The .17 Remington Fireball excels at varmint hunting and target shooting. Its flat trajectory and 4000 fps velocity make it particularly effective on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and other small game at ranges up to 300 yards. The minimal recoil and reduced fouling also make it a favorite for high-volume shooting sessions.
How does this AccuTip-V load compare to other .17 Fireball options?
The 20-grain AccuTip-V is the standard factory load for .17 Remington Fireball. Its polymer-tipped design provides superior ballistics compared to non-tipped bullets, delivering better accuracy and more predictable expansion on target. The boat-tail configuration helps maintain velocity and energy at distance.
Can I reload this ammunition?
Yes, this ammunition uses reloadable brass cases with a boxer primer, making it suitable for handloading. The .17 Remington Fireball uses relatively modest powder charges compared to larger calibers, which makes reloading both practical and economical for shooters who want to develop custom loads.
How much recoil should I expect from the .17 Fireball?
The .17 Remington Fireball produces extremely mild recoil, typically under 1 foot-pound in a rifle weighing around 10 pounds. This low recoil lets you shoot comfortably for extended periods and stay on target for quick follow-up shots without scope bounce or shooter fatigue.
