Description
The CCI VNT 17 Mach 2 17gr Polymer Tip load gives 17 Mach 2 shooters a modern varmint bullet with excellent accuracy. CCI loads a 17 grain Speer VNT bullet, featuring an extremely thin jacket and a precision polymer tip, and drives it at a rated 2010 feet per second. That combination produces a flat trajectory, tight groups and explosive expansion on impact, making it a great fit for small varmints and long-range rimfire target work.
Why Choose the CCI VNT 17 Mach 2 17gr Polymer Tip
- 17 grain Speer VNT polymer-tipped bullet
- Rated 2010 fps muzzle velocity
- Thin jacket for explosive expansion
- Flat trajectory and superb accuracy
- 50 rounds per box, CCI 948CC
Built for Varmints and Targets
- Polymer tip improves accuracy and wind resistance
- Faster and flatter than .22 LR
- Reliable CCI priming and brass
- Fits rifles chambered for .17 Mach 2 (17 HM2)
Never fire .17 Mach 2 ammunition in a .17 HMR or .22 LR chamber. The cartridges look similar but are not interchangeable, so always check the barrel markings on your firearm before loading.
Light .17 caliber bullets can drift in the wind, so watch conditions before each shot and use a steady rest on longer shots. Zero your scope with this load, since bullet shape can shift point of impact compared with other .17 Mach 2 loads.
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.
.17 Mach 2 ammunition can be harder to find than more common rimfire calibers, so many owners stock up when they find a load their rifle likes.
Many .17 Mach 2 rifles are built on the same actions as popular .22 LR models, and several share magazines with their .22 LR cousins. That makes the caliber easy to live with, and a quality load like this one lets you get the most from the flat-shooting cartridge. Most shooters zero at 75 or 100 yards and find holdover minimal for typical small varmint shots.

Why Shooters Choose 17 Mach 2 Ammo
The .17 Mach 2 is built on a necked-down .22 LR case, which means it runs in compact rifles and semi-autos designed around .22 LR actions. It shoots much flatter than a .22 LR while keeping recoil and noise very low, making 17 mach 2 ammo a great option for backyard pest control where legal and for small varmints at moderate distances.
This 17 hm2 ammo uses the same thin-jacket VNT bullet design found in CCI .17 HMR and .22 Magnum varmint loads. The polymer tip starts rapid expansion on impact, giving fast, decisive results on ground squirrels, rats, starlings and similar pests.
Because the bullet fragments so aggressively, this 17 hm2 varmint load is best for pests rather than small game you plan to eat.
Owners of .17 Mach 2 rifles, varmint hunters and rimfire target shooters will get flat-shooting, dependable performance from this 50-round box. Always confirm your firearm is chambered for .17 Mach 2 (17 HM2), know what is beyond your target, and follow all federal, state and local hunting laws.
