Recommendations on a .17 HMR?

<< < (6/8) > >>

S.C. hunter:
the .17hmr  is a .22 magnum case necked down to the .17 diameter. It is the same as a 177 pellet I think.    As best I can remember it took a while to make a.17 in hard steel barrels due to the fact that the tooling to cut rifling had to be developed to be strong enough that small.  Pellet rifles are softer metal, some even brass, like the Sheridan's

Again when we were kids we toyed with the idea of chambering a pellet rifle to take a .22 short cartridge. None of my friends was willing to sacrifice their rifle. Selfish SOB's ;D ;D

They are still playing around to make a safe .17 semi-auto pistol. Man, it's .17 or .20 of lead at 2500 FPS. It is flat and fast.

I think you mean 17 or 20 grains of lead, right?

Stoker:
Not with a short barrel  ;)
