The CCI V-Max .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR) 30-grain Hornady Polymer Tip Brass 50-round box is a high-velocity rimfire cartridge engineered specifically for varmint hunting, small predator control, and pest elimination at extended rimfire distances. Standard .22 WMR jacketed hollow point or solid loads often experience rapid velocity decay beyond 75 to 100 yards, which can lead to pencil-through penetration and delayed energy transfer on small-bodied targets. CCI resolves these terminal limitations by loading Hornady's ultra-sleek 30-grain V-Max polymer-tipped projectile to deliver flat trajectories, high impact velocities, and immediate explosive fragmentation downrange.
The core technical advantage relies on the Hornady V-Max bullet architecture paired with CCI's manufacturing precision. The lightweight 30-grain projectile features a sharp polymer tip seated over a hollow lead core. Upon impact, the tip acts as a wedge, driving backward into the lead core to induce violent radial expansion and fragmentation—even at lower impact velocities experienced past 100 yards. The aerodynamic polymer tip and streamlined bullet profile also elevate the projectile's ballistic efficiency, reducing air resistance, wind drift, and trajectory drop compared to traditional flat-nose rimfire bullets.
Launching its 30-grain V-Max projectile at a high-velocity 2,200 FPS (generating 322 ft-lbs of muzzle energy), this loading offers a flat trajectory that minimizes elevation holdover for small targets like prairie dogs, coyotes, and groundhogs. Assembled using premium brass rimfire cases, clean-burning propellants, and CCI's non-corrosive priming compound, the cartridge ensures hot, instantaneous ignition and smooth feeding across bolt-action rifles, lever-action carbines, and semi-automatic .22 WMR platforms.
Key Benefits
- Hornady V-Max Polymer Tip: Drives into the lead core upon impact to trigger immediate, explosive fragmentation on varmints.
- Flatter Trajectory at 2,200 FPS: High initial velocity reduces time-of-flight and minimizes bullet drop past 100 yards.
- Aerodynamic Bullet Profile: Polymer tip and concentric jacket geometry resist wind drift and preserve downrange energy.
- CCI Priming Reliability: Proven non-corrosive rimfire priming delivers consistent ignition and reliable cycling across platforms.
