Solved from this product's advertised 2200 fps, 30gr bullet and G1 BC 0.116, with the sight 1.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .22 Magnum.
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 markets its Varmint V-Max load for varmints. It uses the V-Max, a polymer-tipped bullet, which CCI rates at a G1 BC of .116, and it leaves the muzzle at 2,200 fps. That G1 figure is well above the Winchester V-Max and the hollow points it is compared with, and it keeps the bullet moving faster and drifting less past 100 yards.
Compared with Winchester's Varmint HV 30-grain V-Max, the CCI starts 50 fps slower but keeps its speed better. At 150 yards, a steady 10 mph wind blowing across the range pushes the CCI about 11 inches sideways and the Winchester about 13, while zeroed at 100 yards both drop about 4 inches at 150. Compared with Federal's V-Shok 30-grain Speer TNT, a hollow point at the same muzzle speed, the CCI gains more. The same wind pushes the Federal about 15 inches, and it drops about 5 inches at 150 yards.
Buy the Varmint V-Max if you want a polymer-tipped bullet for varmints and shoot out to 150 yards. Pick Winchester's Varmint HV if you want the most muzzle speed, 2,250 fps. Pick CCI's Maxi-Mag TNT or the Federal V-Shok if you would rather have a hollow point. For a heavier bullet, Winchester's Super-X 40-grain JHP starts 290 fps slower and drifts about 13 inches at 150 yards.
- Keeps 1,321 fps at 150 yards, against 1,154 for Federal's V-Shok 30-grain Speer TNT
- At 100 yards a 10 mph crosswind moves it about 1.5 inches less than CCI's Maxi-Mag TNT 30-grain
- Its G1 BC of .116 compares with .097 for Winchester's Varmint HV V-Max
- CCI markets it for varmints, while Winchester markets its Varmint HV V-Max for varmints and small game
- Shows the same speed, wind and drop figures as CCI's Varmint Tipped 30-grain, so it has no trajectory edge over that load
- Its edge in a 10 mph crosswind over Winchester's Varmint HV V-Max is only about an inch at 100 yards
