The CCI 0055 Gamepoint delivers consistent performance for small game hunting and target shooting with its 20-grain full metal jacket design. This rimfire ammunition combines CCI's reliable ignition system with a flat-shooting trajectory that extends effective range beyond standard .22 LR loads.
What Makes This Different
Gamepoint ammunition features CCI's proven priming compound that ensures reliable ignition in all weather conditions. The 20-grain FMJ bullet maintains structural integrity through tough hide and bone, providing deeper penetration than hollow point designs. Muzzle velocity reaches approximately 2,375 fps, delivering flat trajectory and reduced wind drift compared to heavier rimfire cartridges.
Key Features
- 20-grain full metal jacket bullet for maximum penetration
- Muzzle velocity of 2,375 fps with consistent powder charges
- CCI priming system rated for reliable ignition down to -20°F
- Brass cases sized for consistent chambering and extraction
- 50-round plastic storage box with individual compartments
- Compatible with all 17 HMR chambered rifles and handguns
- Flat shooting trajectory extends effective range to 150+ yards
This ammunition excels in varmint control situations where penetration through brush and bone is critical. The FMJ construction prevents premature expansion, maintaining bullet weight for maximum energy transfer at extended ranges. Hunters targeting prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and similar pests benefit from the consistent point of impact and minimal trajectory drop. Target shooters appreciate the uniform velocities that contribute to tight groupings at 100 yards and beyond.
