.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.
