Shawnmoore81 623 Posted June 6, 2013 Is .17 gonna be the next .22? I see that rim fire ammo just isn't being produced. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malice4you 627 Posted June 6, 2013 I've had a hard time finding .17HMR, though I just started looking... I'm planning to get a rifle chambered in it next month and have been trying to get a little stockpile of ammo, but that has proven difficult so far... What I have found has been $16-17 /50 for CCI and Winchester. Ramsey Outdoor in Ledgewood does have one box of .17HMR as of yesterday afternoon ($17), and a ton of .17HM2 (I'd guess at least a couple thousand rounds from what it looked like), unsure of price. They also had 50rd boxes of CCI subsonic .22 segmented HP at $11 or 12 a box, looked like about 1000rds of that, plus some .22 shorts 100rd boxes at $13...

Shawnmoore81 623 Posted June 6, 2013 As soon as I saw cabelas put a limit on it I hunted down a case. I can't have ground hog season go by and not have ammo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clintoon Eastwood 2 Posted June 7, 2013 .17 whatever?? What is the main purpose of this caliber/round? I mean its a serious question, its pretty pricey and I just don't get the caliber and its purpose. Please enlighten me .17 GODS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shawnmoore81 623 Posted June 7, 2013 Ground hogs. Also a fun extremely accurate rifle. Also flits not that pricey. The accuracy and distance far surpasses .22 and is cheaper then center fire Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
