CCI Maxi-Mag 22 WMR 46gr Segmented HP – Reliable Clean-22 Coated Varmint Ammo, 1875 fps, 50 Rounds

Description

CCI Maxi-Mag 22 WMR 46gr Segmented HP ammunition brings CCI’s clean polymer bullet coating to the 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire. The 46 grain Segmented Hollow Point is designed to split into three equal-size pieces on impact, tripling the number of wound channels for fast, humane kills on small game and varmints. According to CCI, the polymer coating greatly reduces copper and lead fouling in the barrel without leaving a residue and cuts lead buildup in suppressors by 60 to 80 percent. It leaves the muzzle at a rated 1875 feet per second.

CCI Maxi-Mag 22 WMR 46gr Segmented HP Features

• Well suited to squirrels, rabbits, groundhogs and small predators at moderate range
• Flat trajectory compared with 22 LR
• Consistent CCI priming for reliable ignition
• Cleaner shooting for longer intervals between cleanings

The 22 WMR fills the gap between the 22 LR and centerfire varmint cartridges. It shoots noticeably flatter and hits harder than a 22 LR while keeping recoil and noise modest, which makes it popular around farms and in areas where a centerfire would be excessive.

Rimfire accuracy can vary from rifle to rifle, so try a box or two before buying in bulk. Once you find a load your rifle likes, buying from the same lot helps keep your zero consistent from season to season.

Many rimfire shooters keep the CCI Maxi-Mag 22 WMR 46gr Segmented HP load as a dedicated pest round for the farm, garden or ranch. Its fragmenting design reduces the chance of a pass-through on small animals, and the polymer coating keeps the rifle shooting cleanly through a long afternoon of groundhog or prairie dog work.

When comparing the CCI Maxi-Mag 22 WMR 46gr Segmented HP load with standard jacketed hollow points, the key difference is how energy is delivered. Rather than expanding into one mushroom, the bullet separates into three smaller pieces, which spreads its energy through the target. On small game such as squirrels and rabbits, aim for the head or front of the chest to limit meat damage.

How a Segmented Hollow Point Works

A segmented hollow point is scored so it breaks apart in a controlled way. Instead of one expanding bullet, you get three fragments that each create their own wound channel, which increases the chance of hitting something vital on a small animal and reduces the chance of a wounded varmint escaping.

The polymer coated bullet design also matters for rimfire shooters who run suppressors. Lead buildup in a rimfire can is a constant maintenance chore, and CCI reports that this coating cuts it substantially, stretching the time between cleanings.

Small game hunters, farmers and varmint shooters who own a rifle or revolver chambered in 22 WMR will get the most from this load. It is designed for small animals, not larger game such as deer. Always know your backstop and follow all federal, state and local hunting regulations.

Store this ammunition in a cool, dry place in the original box so the lot number stays with it. Zero your scope at 50 or 75 yards and check your holdover at 100 and 125 yards, since the 22 WMR drops more quickly past that range.
