How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 4" vital zone, ±2" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 200 yards.

Product Overview
CCI's Gamepoint .17 HMR 20-grain is a jacketed soft point load made for small game. The Gamepoint is a lead core in a copper jacket with the lead left bare at the nose. At 20 grains it is the heaviest bullet .17 HMR is loaded with, and it leaves the muzzle at 2,375 fps with 250 ft-lbs and a G1 BC of .125.
From a 100-yard zero it drops 3.1 inches at 150 yards, and a 125-yard zero holds that to 1.8 inches. A 150-yard zero puts it 2.1 inches high at 100 yards. At 150 yards it still carries 99 ft-lbs.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady's Varmint Express 17-grain V-Max is 175 fps faster at the muzzle with a polymer-tipped bullet Hornady sells for varmints.
- More muzzle energy than any other .17 HMR load
- The only .17 HMR bullet without a polymer tip
- 1,754 fps at 100 yards, and still supersonic at 150
- The slowest .17 HMR load at the muzzle and the one that drops most at 150 yards
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
