Description
CCI’s V-Max load in .22 WMR is purpose-built for varmint hunting, pairing CCI’s rimfire-specific priming with Hornady’s polymer-tipped V-Max bullet. The combination suits shooters who want a reliable, consistent round out of a .22 Magnum rifle or pistol when precision matters on small pests at practical field distances.
The 30-grain bullet weight is on the lighter end of what the .22 WMR cartridge supports, and that has real consequences downrange. A lighter projectile driven at higher velocity flattens trajectory, which reduces the amount of holdover guesswork at moderate distances and extends the range at which a shooter can take a clean shot without correcting for arc. The trade-off is that a lighter bullet sheds energy faster and is more sensitive to crosswind, so this load is best suited to the shorter to mid-range shots that rimfire varmint hunting typically involves.
The V-Max bullet design does specific work on impact. The polymer tip drives inward on contact, initiating rapid, consistent expansion that releases energy quickly inside the target. That translates to reliable, decisive terminal performance on small pests without the kind of exit energy that can be problematic in some agricultural or field settings. The brass case and CCI’s rimfire priming keep ignition consistent across varied temperatures, which matters when shooting conditions change through the day. Each box contains 50 rounds.
