CCI A17 Varmint Tip 17 HMR 17gr Ammunition - 200 Round Box

The CCI A17 Varmint Tip 17 HMR ammunition delivers exceptional accuracy and terminal performance for small game hunting and varmint control. This specialized cartridge features a polymer-tipped bullet designed specifically for the unique ballistics of semi-automatic 17 HMR rifles.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional 17 HMR loads optimized for bolt-action rifles, the A17 cartridge uses a specially engineered powder blend that provides reliable cycling in semi-automatic platforms. The reduced chamber pressure and consistent burn rate eliminate the feeding issues commonly experienced with standard 17 HMR ammunition in semi-auto actions. This results in 25% fewer malfunctions compared to conventional loads when fired through semi-automatic rifles.

Key Features

• 17-grain polymer-tipped Varmint Tip bullet for rapid expansion on impact
• Optimized powder charge specifically formulated for semi-automatic rifle cycling
• Muzzle velocity of 2,650 feet per second with 265 foot-pounds of energy
• Consistent brass cases with reliable primer ignition in all weather conditions
• Flat trajectory with minimal wind drift at typical varmint hunting distances
• 200-round bulk packaging reduces cost per shot for high-volume shooting
• Compatible with all 17 HMR chamber specifications and rifling twist rates

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy at 100 yards when fired from quality rifles with proper optics. The polymer tip initiates rapid expansion upon impact, creating devastating wound channels in prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and other small varmints while maintaining sufficient penetration for clean kills. The reduced operating pressure extends brass case life for reloaders while maintaining the flat trajectory and wind-bucking characteristics that make 17 HMR effective for longer-range varmint work.
