CCI VMAX ammunition in .22 WMR (part no. 73) loads a 30-grain Hornady V-Max bullet, pairing CCI’s rimfire manufacturing with Hornady’s proven polymer-tipped varmint bullet. CCI Ammunition builds this load around a lighter-than-standard 30-grain weight, driving extra velocity for a flatter trajectory through the .22 WMR’s already flat-shooting platform. The V-Max’s polymer tip initiates rapid, explosive expansion on impact, the same terminal performance that has made V-Max a favorite bullet across multiple calibers. This rimfire ammunition gives .22 WMR shooters a proven bullet design in a rimfire loading.
