Description

The CCI 948CC VNT delivers exceptional varmint performance with its polymer-tipped projectile design in the fast 17 Mach 2 cartridge. This rimfire ammunition combines CCI's reliable priming with a ballistically efficient 17-grain bullet that maintains velocity downrange for consistent terminal performance.

What Makes This Different

The polymer tip initiates rapid expansion on impact while the boat-tail design reduces drag for flatter trajectory compared to standard hollow point rounds. CCI's clean-burning powder formula produces consistent velocities with minimal fouling, extending shooting sessions between cleanings. The 17 Mach 2 cartridge achieves higher velocities than 17 HMR in shorter barrels while generating less bolt face wear.

Key Features

17-grain polymer-tipped bullet for rapid expansion and energy transfer
Boat-tail design reduces wind drift and maintains velocity
Clean-burning powder minimizes barrel fouling
CCI priming system ensures reliable ignition in all conditions
Brass case construction allows for consistent chambering
50-round box packaging for convenient range sessions
Optimized for semi-automatic rimfire rifles and bolt-actions

Field testing demonstrates excellent accuracy potential in quality rifles, with many firearms achieving sub-MOA groups at 100 yards. The high velocity and flat trajectory make this cartridge effective for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and similar small game out to 150 yards. The polymer tip ensures reliable expansion even at extended ranges where velocity drops below 1,800 fps.
