Description
The CCI VNT .22 WMR hits the sweet spot for what a modern varmint load should be. You get a 30-grain polymer-tipped projectile loaded to 2200 fps with plenty of energy to handle ground squirrels, prairie dogs, and similar pests cleanly. That yellow polymer tip does two things worth knowing about: it parts the air on the way downrange for flatter trajectory, and it initiates rapid expansion when it meets the thin Speer jacket, creating the kind of destructive terminal performance that makes varmint work quick and effective.
What Sets the CCI VNT .22 WMR Apart
This isn't a generic varmint round. The thin bullet jacket teams with the polymer tip to create what CCI and other manufacturers call "explosive fragmentation" on impact. In practical terms, that means the round comes apart to transfer maximum energy to whatever's downrange, which is exactly what you want when you're trying to make a clean, fast kill. The ballistic coefficient of 0.116 keeps the round stable throughout its effective range, which matters when you're stretching shots beyond 100 yards.
Performance You Can Depend On
The brass cases are tumble-polished and loaded with CCI's consistent rimfire primers and clean-burning powder. That consistency matters more in rimfire than people realize. You're not chasing velocity variations from round to round or dealing with primers that don't fire reliably. The 125-round pour pack gives you enough ammunition for serious work without the bulk of a case quantity.
Making the Shot Count
At 100 yards, this round still carries around 166 foot-pounds of energy, which is plenty for humane varmint control within its intended range. The flat trajectory means less dial-turning and holdover, and the accuracy capability is good enough to place shots strategically on small targets. Whether you're knocking down a few problem ground squirrels or putting in a day of pest control, the 30-grain VNT gives you the performance to get it done right.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far can I effectively hunt with CCI VNT .22 WMR?
The 30-grain polymer-tipped bullet is effective on varmints out to about 130 yards in skilled hands. At 100 yards it still carries roughly 166 foot-pounds of energy, which is solid for ground squirrels and similar pests. Beyond that distance, wind drift and bullet drop increase noticeably, so it depends on your rifle, optics, and the specific target.
Will this CCI VNT ammunition expand reliably on varmints?
Yes. The polymer tip is designed to push inward on impact, which breaks apart the thin Speer jacket into fragments. This creates rapid expansion and energy transfer rather than over-penetration. The design favors explosive terminal performance, which is what you want for quick, humane varmint work.
Is the .22 WMR suitable for hunting fox, raccoon, or larger varmints?
The .22 WMR is versatile enough for medium varmints like fox and raccoon at reasonable distances, though many experienced hunters prefer slightly heavier loads for those larger animals. The 30-grain VNT works well for these species at 100-150 yards with proper shot placement, but you should practice before committing to field use on larger game.
What's inside a 125-round box versus a 50-round box?
The 125-round pour pack gives you more ammunition for the same number of trips to the range or field. It's the same ammunition and the same performance, just a larger quantity per box. The round count is useful for longer varmint-control sessions or when you want to stock up without buying full cases.
