Description
The CCI TNT 17 HMR 17gr JHP load combines the flat trajectory of the .17 HMR with the proven TNT hollow point. CCI drives a 17 grain jacketed hollow point at a rated 2550 feet per second, delivering match-grade accuracy and explosive expansion on impact. Without a polymer tip, the TNT bullet relies on its hollow cavity and thin jacket to open up rapidly, giving fast, decisive results on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, crows and other small varmints.

Light .17 caliber bullets can drift in strong wind, so watch grass, dust and mirage before each shot and practice at several distances to learn how your rifle holds. A bipod or shooting sticks make a big difference on longer shots.
Rimfire bullets can travel well over a mile, so always confirm a safe backstop. Clean your bore periodically, since fast jacketed bullets can build copper fouling. CCI has built rimfire ammunition in Lewiston, Idaho for decades and is known for consistent quality.
Most bolt-action and semi-auto .17 HMR rifles group well with this load, but test it in your own firearm before a big day in the field, and buy enough from the same lot to keep your zero consistent.
A typical prairie dog outing can go through several boxes, so many hunters stock up before the season. Store the ammunition in a cool, dry place to keep performance consistent from box to box.
Some shooters prefer a hollow point over a polymer-tipped bullet because there is no tip to deform in a magazine or during feeding, and many rifles show excellent accuracy with the TNT design. If your rifle groups well with this load, it can be a reliable everyday choice for pest control and practice alike. Check your zero again whenever you switch between hollow point and polymer-tip loads.

Why Varmint Hunters Choose 17 HMR TNT
The 17 hmr tnt load is a favorite for shooters who want top-tier accuracy from their .17 HMR rifles. Its flat trajectory lets many hunters zero at 100 yards and hold dead-on for most shots out to about 150 yards, which is hard to match with any other rimfire.
As a 17 hmr hollow point, the TNT bullet opens up quickly on small, light-bodied animals, transferring energy fast and reducing the chance of a wounded varmint escaping into a burrow. That makes it a proven 17 hmr varmint load for dog towns and pasture pest control.
Because it expands so aggressively, this load is best for varmints rather than small game you plan to eat.
Prairie dog hunters, farmers, ranchers and anyone dealing with small burrowing pests will get flat-shooting, dependable performance from this 50-round box. Always confirm your firearm is chambered for .17 HMR, know what is beyond your target, and follow all federal, state and local hunting laws.
