Description
CCI GamePoint has carved out a reputation for ammunition that respects both the hunter and the game. This 20-grain FMJ load takes that philosophy and focuses it on a heavier bullet weight that brings deeper penetration and flatter performance past 100 yards compared to lighter rimfire offerings. You get the speed the .17 HMR is known for, paired with a no-nonsense full metal jacket design that punches clean holes and keeps meat loss to a minimum.
GamePoint's Dimple-Tip Design
The real trick in this load sits at the tip of the bullet. CCI's Dimple-Tip creates a controlled expansion pattern without turning your harvest into shredded meat. This is the kind of engineering detail that separates ammunition designed by people who actually hunt from ammunition designed by spreadsheet. The dimple works like a pressure valve, letting the bullet expand with authority while preserving what's worth keeping.
Velocity, Energy, and Consistency
You're looking at 2375 fps and 250 foot-pounds of muzzle energy from standard rifle barrels. Those numbers position this load right in the sweet spot for precision work out to 200-plus yards depending on your setup and skill level. The brass cases and CCI's proven priming system mean you're shooting ammunition built to the same standards the company brings to the rest of its rimfire line. Real consistency shot to shot is what keeps groups tight, and that's what this ammunition delivers.
Purpose-Built for Small Game and Range Work
Rabbit, squirrel, prairie dog, or a day spent dialing in your .17 HMR at the range, this load handles both jobs equally well. The 20-grain weight gives you heavier energy in the target zone and better wind resistance than ultra-light bullets, which matters when you're trying to make clean kills at distance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this 20-grain GamePoint load and standard .17 HMR ammunition?
The 20-grain weight gives you heavier energy delivery and better wind resistance compared to lighter .17 HMR bullets, helping maintain accuracy at distance. CCI's Dimple-Tip design expands in a controlled way to minimize meat and hide damage while delivering consistent terminal performance, making this load specifically engineered for the small-game hunter who cares about preserving usable meat.
Can I reload .17 HMR ammunition?
No. .17 HMR is a rimfire cartridge, which means the primer is part of the case rim and gets crushed during firing. Rimfire ammunition cannot be safely or effectively reloaded like centerfire ammo.
How far is this ammunition effective for hunting?
With proper rifle setup and shooter skill, this load remains effective for small-game hunting beyond 200 yards thanks to its high velocity and flat trajectory. Practical hunting distances depend on wind conditions, your firearm quality, and shot placement skills, but the velocity and energy figures support ethical hunting work well past 100 yards.
Is CCI GamePoint ammunition corrosive?
No. CCI uses non-corrosive primers in all their ammunition, including this GamePoint load. Your barrel doesn't need special cleanup after shooting this ammo, though normal maintenance after range sessions is always good practice.
