Brass Case • TNT
Solved from this product's advertised 2200 fps, 30gr bullet and G1 BC 0.090, 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. Dashed line: where the bullet goes subsonic. 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
Federal markets its V-Shok Speer TNT load for varmints. The 30-grain Speer TNT is a jacketed hollow point. Federal rates it at a G1 BC of .090, and it leaves the muzzle at 2,200 fps, the same speed as most of the 30-grain loads it is compared with. By 150 yards it has slowed to 1,154 fps.
Compared with CCI's Maxi-Mag TNT 30-grain, which also uses a TNT hollow point at the same speed, there is almost nothing to choose. At 150 yards, a steady 10 mph wind blowing across the range pushes each of them about 15 inches sideways, and zeroed at 100 yards both drop about 5 inches at 150. Compared with CCI's Varmint V-Max 30-grain, a polymer-tipped bullet at the same muzzle speed, the Federal gives up ground in the wind. The same wind pushes the CCI about 11 inches at 150 yards, and it drops about 4 inches.
Buy the V-Shok if you want a hollow point for varmints out to about 150 yards. CCI's Maxi-Mag TNT is the same choice on the trajectory numbers, so either will do. Pick CCI's Varmint V-Max if you shoot mostly at 150 yards and wind is your main problem. Pick Winchester's Varmint HV 30-grain V-Max if you want the most muzzle speed, 2,250 fps. For a heavier bullet, Winchester's Super-X 40-grain JHP starts 290 fps slower but drifts about 13 inches at 150 yards.
- At 150 yards a 10 mph crosswind moves it about 15 inches, against about 18 for Winchester's Varmint LF 25-grain
- A hollow point, for buyers who prefer one to the polymer-tipped bullet in CCI's Varmint V-Max 30-grain
- Leaves the muzzle 100 fps faster than Winchester's Varmint LF 25-grain
- Winchester's Varmint HV 30-grain V-Max is still moving at 1,228 fps at 150 yards, against 1,154 for the Federal
- At 100 yards a 10 mph crosswind moves it about 6 inches, against about 5 for Winchester's Varmint HV 30-grain V-Max
- CCI's Varmint V-Max 30-grain carries 1,571 fps at 100 yards, against 1,419 for the Federal
