sussex lad Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Deadeye, youve got .17HMR and .17MACH2 mixed up the are two sperate rimfire rounds! Firstly the .17 hmr is a .22magnum case necked down to take a .17 bullet. and the .17 mach2 is a .22 lr case necked down to take the .17 bullet. The .17hmr is good out to 200 yards The .17 mach2 is good for 100 ish yards Hope this helped Brian... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
