17 HMR – 17 gr Varmint Tipped – CCI (923CC) – 1250 Rounds

Varmint hunters who shoot ground squirrels by the hundreds need 17 HMR in quantity, and CCI’s 125 round VNT boxes are made for that kind of volume. This listing is CCI VNT 17 HMR 17 grain Varmint Tipped ammo, MPN 923CC, sold as a 1,250 round case.

CCI rates this load at 2,650 fps with 265 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The polymer-tipped 17 grain bullet expands quickly on impact, which is ideal for ground squirrels, prairie dogs, crows, and similar pests. That speed gives the 17 HMR a flat trajectory compared with 22 rimfire options, which simplifies holdovers out to about 200 yards. As a varmint load, it is meant for small animals, not deer or other big game.

This ammunition fits rifles and handguns chambered in 17 HMR, including the Savage 93R17 and A17, the Ruger American Rimfire and 77/17, the CZ 457 Varmint, the Henry H001V, the Marlin XT-17, and convertible revolvers with a 17 HMR cylinder. A common question is whether VNT and A17 loads perform differently. Both use a 17 grain varmint tipped bullet at the same rated velocity, while VNT is packaged in 125 round boxes for volume shooters. Another common question is whether 17 HMR is effective on coyotes. It can work with careful head and neck shots at close range, but a centerfire varmint cartridge is a more humane choice for coyotes.

CCI 923CC is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA by CCI in Lewiston, Idaho. Rimfire cases are not reloadable. This case contains 10 boxes of 125 rounds for a total of 1,250 rounds of 17 HMR. A full case from one lot keeps your holdovers and wind calls consistent across an entire varmint season, and the 125 round boxes are easy to carry into the field. Keep spare boxes in a dry bag on long days in the truck.
