stevethevanman Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 I am considering buying a 17 HMR and was wondering how a 16" barrlel would afect velocity compared to say a 22" barrlel, I was told that 13" away from the chamber the bulet reaches its terminal velocity and cant go any faster as far as velocity is concerned is this true? ?

njc110381 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Check this site out....... http://www.varmintal.com/17hmr.htm .........It covers almost everything you'll ever need to know about the HMR. I'm going to buy a 16" rifle when I get my cert. You only lose 100fps max, which when you think about it isn't much when you're talking HMR speeds. A 20 inch rifle with a mod on the end is bloody huge for a rimfire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
