.17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (HMR)

The 17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire is a big success because of its slim appearance and its upgraded external ballistics. It was designed in 2002 by Littleman Mitchell of Hornady to produce rimfire cartridges that have unique flat trajectories. Several companies and bodies such as CCI, Federal, Hornady, Remington, and Winchester essentially manufacture the 17 HMR ammo. Its parent case is .22 WMR and the bullet diameter is 4.5mm, a neck of 4.8mm, a shoulder of 6.0mm, and a base diameter of 6.0mm. The rim’s diameter is 7.3mm, and it is 1.3 inches thick. In total, the cartridge is 34.3mm long, including the 26.9 case length. 17 grained (1.1 grams) bullets cover 2,650 feet per second, and a 20 grained (1.3 grams) shell covers the distance of 2,350 feet per second; an excellent distance coverage indeed. In appearance, the 17 HMR ammo does not have an oversized, thick look like the straight-backed cartridges; cartridges of this make are slimmer with more propellent force than most ammo. The 17 HMR ammo promotes the accuracy, and it is suitable for hunting smaller-sized games like rabbits but is not restricted to small games alone; this ammo is perfect for medium and larger-sized games like deer and foxes. Apart from game hunting, 17 HMR ammo in shooting sports, and because it is rimfire ammunition, it has low pressures (180.00MPa). Many hunters have begun using the 17 HMR ammo, mainly when they hunt minor games; the ammo's popularity has grown steadily because of its high ballistic performance.

Glock 21

Remarkable for its accuracy and light recoil, the GLOCK 21SF delivers the legendary stopping power of the .45 AUTO round with 10/13 round magazine capacity. Countless law enforcement units swear by the G21SF pistol, and that's why this powerful, lightweight, all climate workhorse is standard issue from the North to South Poles. The SF model reduces the circumference of the receiver at the rear, or "back strap," offering increased comfort and controlespecially for shooters with smaller hands.
