Slow down there, Hoss. Don’t order this ammo for a 17 WSM or 17 HM2 firearm. It will not work in either!

Sorry if you didn’t need that warning. We’re not trying to second guess your complete knowledge of guns and ammo or anything. We just want to spare other, less experienced shooters from making a horrendous mistake.

But you’re sure not making a mistake if you order Remington Magnum Rimfire 17 HMR ammo for varmint shooting or target hunting … wait, we mean target shooting or varmint hunting. Darn it. Let’s start over.

Hello there, 17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire fans! If you’re looking for the perfect ammo for capping coyotes, ventilating varmints or terrorizing targets, then you’ve just found your round! This cartridge’s heavyweight 20 grain projectile exhibits -3.2” drop 100 yards downrange of a 100-yard zero, and has the classic soft point design that spells hot death to small game. Explosive fragmentation always does the trick!

These premium Arkansas-made brass-cased beauties come packaged in a neat plastic box. Some environmentalists say that plastic is evil, but can they think up a better way to package 17 HMR ammo? Check mate, tree huggers!
