Solved from this product's advertised 2250 fps, 30gr bullet and G1 BC 0.097, 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
Winchester's Varmint HV 30-grain is a polymer-tipped .22 Magnum load Winchester lists for varmints and small game. A V-Max bullet gives it a polymer tip over a thin copper jacket. It leaves the muzzle at 2,250 fps with 337 ft-lbs on a G1 BC of .097.
From a 100-yard zero it drops 4.4 inches at 150 yards. A 10 mph crosswind moves it 13.2 inches there, about 3 inches less than CCI's Varmint TNT Green 30-grain. It passes 100 yards at 1,504 fps.
If you're cross-shopping, CCI's Varmint V-Max polymer tip starts 50 fps slower on a G1 BC of .116 and is 67 fps in front of it by 100 yards. CCI's .22 WMR 30-grain Varmint Tipped Pour Pack carries that same G1 BC.
- The fastest start of any .22 Magnum load compared, and the most muzzle energy
- Drops 1.1 inches at 100 yards from a 50-yard zero, less than every 40-grain load in the caliber
- A higher G1 BC than Hornady's Varmint Express V-Max and Federal's V-Shok Speer TNT
- Three of the CCI loads compared carry a higher G1 BC and pass it inside 100 yards
- A lead core, where CCI's Varmint TNT Green is the lead-free load at this bullet weight, 200 fps slower at the muzzle
