CCI 17HMR 16GR TNT GREEN 50/2000

Description

CCI’s TNT Green load in .17 HMR is built for varmint hunters who need clean, decisive terminal performance on small targets at rimfire distances. The design centers on a lead-free hollow point bullet that relies on rapid mechanical expansion rather than lead core deformation to transfer energy — a meaningful distinction when hunting in areas where non-toxic ammunition is expected or preferred, or simply when a shooter wants to reduce lead residue downrange.

The TNT Green projectile uses a gilding metal jacket construction engineered to initiate expansion reliably at the velocities the .17 HMR cartridge generates. At 2,500 feet per second muzzle velocity, the round arrives with enough energy to produce the explosive expansion the TNT Green design is built around, making it well-suited to small varmints where the goal is quick, clean stops rather than pass-through penetration. The hollow point cavity is sized to open consistently within the velocity window of the cartridge, which matters at longer range as velocity bleeds off.

CCI primes these rounds with their own rimfire priming compound, which is known for consistent ignition across a range of conditions — relevant when you’re shooting early mornings or in cold weather where rimfire sensitivity can vary. Brass case construction supports reliable feeding and extraction. The 50-round box count makes it practical to carry sufficient ammunition for a full day of field work without bulk becoming an issue. This load is a working hunting round, not a plinking or training option, and it’s priced and packaged accordingly.
