CCI’s VNT load in .17 HMR (part no. 959CC) loads a 17-grain varmint-tipped bullet built for total devastation on impact, one entry in CCI’s broader Varmint Ammunition line of bullet technologies all aimed at the same goal. CCI Ammunition builds the VNT bullet around a Speer projectile with an extremely thin jacket and a polymer tip, a combination that delivers a flat trajectory while still initiating violent expansion at impact. It is equally at home devastating varmints up close or drilling targets at long range, giving .17 HMR shooters a genuinely dual-purpose load. This rimfire ammunition is built for shooters who want maximum terminal effect from one of the flattest-shooting rimfire cartridges available.
