lewis2012 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Anyone know anything about the uk launch date of the 17 wsm rimfire? Looks very fast and has good reported ballistics too. Thanks all Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesley121 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Will that be 'louder' than the 17HMR then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beanieboy Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 It is my understanding that thus far few gun manufacturers have committed to the WSM calibre. Savage were the first to show an interest - not sure how many [if any] have followed to date. I'm not convinced at this stage, that it's a significant step-up from the HMR. It has a few hundred feet per second shooting the 17g round, maybe it's advantage will be in how it shoots the heavier 20g round. If this rimfire round requires a centre fire type rifle build, it may prove an expensive option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
