CCI 17HMR 17GR TNT HP 50/2000

Description

CCI’s TNT load in .17 HMR is built around varmint hunting at rimfire distances, where a small, fast bullet needs to transfer energy quickly rather than punch through. The TNT jacketed hollow point is designed to expand violently on impact, which matters when you’re after ground squirrels, prairie dogs, or similar targets where a clean, immediate result is the goal. That kind of terminal performance depends on the bullet’s jacket being thin enough to initiate expansion at rimfire velocities, and CCI’s TNT construction is specifically engineered for that — not simply a hollow point cavity added to a standard plinking bullet.

The .17 HMR cartridge itself produces a notably flat trajectory compared to other rimfire options, which reduces the need to compensate for drop when ranging small, often distant targets. At the muzzle velocities this round generates, wind drift becomes the more significant variable, so the flat arc is most useful in calm-to-moderate conditions. CCI loads this ammunition with clean-burning propellants to reduce fouling in the bore and action, which is worth noting for a cartridge that tends to get shot in volume during a varmint session. Brass cases and CCI’s own priming complete the package, contributing to the consistent ignition that rimfire hunting applications demand. Each box contains 50 rounds.
