The CCI 959CC VNT delivers devastating terminal performance on varmints with its polymer-tipped design that ensures rapid expansion and clean kills. This 17 HMR ammunition combines CCI's proven rimfire reliability with advanced projectile technology for precision varmint hunting. Each 17-grain bullet features a red polymer tip that initiates expansion upon impact while maintaining flat trajectory characteristics.
What Makes This Different
The Varmint Tipped design sets this ammunition apart from standard hollow point rimfire rounds through its engineered polymer tip that drives consistent expansion across various impact velocities. While traditional hollow points can plug with debris or fail to expand at longer ranges, the VNT bullet maintains reliable performance. The streamlined profile reduces wind drift compared to flat-nose designs, extending effective range for varmint applications.Key Features
