Key Features:
Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) and FMJ Variants: The Maxi Mag is available in both Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) and Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) options. The JHP variant is ideal for small game hunting and varmint control, providing controlled expansion and deep penetration. The FMJ is better suited for target shooting or situations where over-expansion is not desired.
High Velocity: The Maxi Mag generally produces a muzzle velocity of around 1875 fps, depending on the specific bullet weight and design. This high velocity ensures a flat trajectory and improved downrange accuracy, making it great for small game hunting at longer distances.
Reliable Priming: CCI's precise manufacturing process ensures consistent primer ignition, making these rounds highly reliable, even in semi-automatic rifles and handguns.
 
Why It’s Special:
Effective for Small Game and Varmint Hunting: The JHP variant expands upon impact, making it highly effective for humanely taking down small game, such as squirrels, rabbits, and raccoons. The round transfers energy efficiently and is perfect for hunters needing reliable terminal ballistics.
Clean-Burning Propellant: CCI is known for using clean-burning powders, which reduce fouling in the barrel, extending the time between cleanings and helping to maintain accuracy throughout a shooting session.
