fabpeter Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 My local dealer warned of an upcoming shortage of .17hmr as the suppliers are using them all for practical .22 rounds? Yup, I'm with fister on that...................what does that mean??? Better be careful too, could cause panic buying and then we'll be in the same position the yanks have been for the last couple of years with their 22LR shortage! But then again, most of us can't walk out of ASDA (WM) with 10,000 rounds in the trolley can we! LOL. Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibby Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I use the Remington 17gr and tried to buy some this weekend from Sportsman. I was told there are only 2 factories producing .17HMR rounds and that one of them, CCI, were having issues hence they did not have any in, only had a couple of other brands.

Dannyboy220 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) What does that mean?He said that the primers are the same as the .22 's that they use in Practical shooting. I think it's for the swat type .22s? I dunno maybe he was taking the **** but I was buying 500 anyway and he said I was doing the right thing as there was a shortage of .17 because they're using all the primers keeping up with demand for the .22 Edited October 26, 2015 by Dannyboy220 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelves are normally empty. 17HMR are in plentiful supply in States and they now have a semi auto 17HMR which uses an uprated round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
