Overview of 17 HMR Ammo

The .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (17 HMR) was developed as a joint venture between Hornady, Marlin, and Ruger, released in 2002. It is an incredibly lightweight rimfire cartridge with a flat trajectory and high velocity, making it a favorite of varmint hunters and long-range rimfire shooters.

The 17 HMR was nothing short of an overnight success as the round accomplished what wildcatters had been doing for many years, replicating the ballistics of the obsolete 5mm Remington Rimfire Magnum (the fastest rimfire cartridge in history). Shooters adored the round so much that ammo sales for the new cartridge quickly outstripped production capacity. Thankfully, within two years of its release, Remington, CCI, and Federal all began offering their own lines of 17 HMR ammo to help keep up with demand. Today, 17 HMR ammo is also available from Winchester as well.

  • Long-Range Rimfire Shooting (Within 300 Yards)
  • Small Game Hunting (Squirrels & Rabbits)
  • Varmint Hunting (Groundhogs, Prairie Dogs)

Effective Range

For small game and varmint hunting, the effective range of the 17 HMR is about 200 yards. For target shooting, the 17 HMR is capable of 300-yard shots, but the lightweight bullet is easily blown off target.

22 Long Rifle Same 17 HMR has a flatter trajectory and is more accurate 17 HMR has more expensive ammo
22 Magnum Same 17 HMR has a flatter trajectory and is more accurate 17 HMR has less stopping power

  • Jackal said:

    Pretty comparable price to other brands but with the Hornady vmax I have never had a misfire plus it feeds very well in my 93r17 savage bolt action. very consistent groups at 200 yards ( without wind ) Love this stuff and wont shoot anything else ! getting hard to find now, I guess others are finding the same results ! ;-)

    I purchased a Savage A17 several years ago. 1st and only weapon of this calibre. Before buying what to me was a novelty rifle I did a lot of reading about the ammo. Savage, in their literature, says to use this ammo to feed this rifle. It has been engineered and tested to run in this gun. So I have exclusively. Never had a problem with weapon or ammo, other than the plastic "drum" magazine. If a manufacturer were to develop a metal mag it would sell out I imagine. I have no idea of other .17s, don't have any and never fired any. This ammo is so fast and flat that at 200y where you'd be expecting some drop it doesn't happen. So either zero at that distance or aim a little high. The reticles in your scope don't compensate for this round. As to pricing, CCI knows they have the market for this rifle, albeit there was a lot of testing to get a round that works consistently, I still think they're charging a bit more than they should/round.
