The CCI TNT Green brings serious varmint hunting power to the .17 HMR without any lead. This is a straightforward choice if you want hard-hitting performance on ground squirrels, prairie dogs, and other small game, whether you're in a lead-restricted area or simply prefer non-toxic ammunition.
These rounds push 2500 fps with predictable, consistent velocities and solid accuracy out to practical varmint ranges. The 16-grain Speer TNT Green bullet is designed specifically for expansion on impact. You get the benefit of CCI's reputation for reliable priming and quality brass, so ignition and extraction stay consistent across the entire box.
The hollow point design creates explosive expansion that puts varmints down cleanly. Because it's lead-free, you can use it in environmentally sensitive areas and don't have to worry about secondary poisoning in raptors and scavengers. That matters if you're in California's designated lead-restriction zones or any area where non-toxic ammunition is preferred. The rounds generate 222 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, which is appropriate for varmints at typical hunting distances.
This is varmint ammo, not target ammunition. Accuracy is reliable for vital zone hits out to 200 yards from typical rifles. Real-world testing shows these rounds group consistently from bench-rested positions, delivering the explosive terminal performance CCI's TNT line is known for. Some shooters note variance between individual boxes, so if precision benchrest work is your goal, you'll want to test a batch first.
CCI recommends consulting with your firearm's manufacturer before using TNT Green in a semi-auto, as some semi-automatic actions may not cycle reliably with these rounds. It's best to confirm with your specific rifle maker that they approve it for semi-automatic use. Bolt action and lever action rifles generally have no issues with this ammunition.
The TNT Green delivers comparable accuracy and similar terminal performance to CCI's traditional TNT loads. The main difference is the lead-free Speer TNT Green projectile instead of a leaded bullet. Performance on game is similar, though some shooters note it's slightly less spectacular on impact than heavier lead versions, but still effective for its intended purpose.
TNT Green is optimized for varmint hunting, not benchrest target work. While accuracy is reliable for field use out to 200 yards, it's not designed to compete with specialized match ammunition. If you're looking for sub-MOA groups at 100 yards consistently, you'd be better served by ammunition specifically built for that purpose.
Lead-free ammunition is required in certain regions, especially California's designated hunting zones. Beyond regulation, many hunters use it to eliminate the risk of secondary lead poisoning in raptors and other scavengers. If you hunt in sensitive ecosystems or prefer environmental responsibility, non-toxic options like TNT Green make that choice straightforward.
