The CCI 0073 VMAX delivers exceptional terminal performance for small game hunting and varmint control with its polymer-tipped Hornady V-Max bullet design. This 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire ammunition combines CCI's reliable priming system with Hornady's proven ballistic tip technology for consistent expansion and accuracy.
What Makes This Different
The Hornady V-Max bullet features a polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion upon impact while maintaining accuracy during flight. Unlike standard hollow point designs, the polymer tip prevents deformation in the magazine and creates a more aerodynamic profile. The 30-grain bullet weight provides optimal velocity retention in the 22 WMR cartridge, delivering approximately 2,200 feet per second muzzle velocity.
Key Features
- 30-grain Hornady V-Max polymer-tipped bullet for controlled expansion
- 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire chambering for extended range capability
- CCI clean-burning propellant reduces fouling and residue buildup
- Non-corrosive priming system ensures reliable ignition
- Brass cases suitable for reloading applications
- 50 rounds per box packaging for convenient range sessions
- Muzzle velocity approximately 2,200 fps from 24-inch barrel
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-2-inch groups at 100 yards from quality bolt-action rifles. The V-Max bullet design excels in prairie dog hunting, groundhog control, and other small game applications where quick, humane kills are essential. The polymer tip maintains bullet integrity during feeding cycles while ensuring reliable expansion on impact with soft tissue.
