I was looking at a PMC catolog the other night at home and was glancing through the rimfire section and here they had a 17 PMC round.What are they tring to break into the 17 Rimfire catagory now,it only had a published FPS of 1800,nothing near the the 17 HMR or the Mach2.
Has anyone else heard of this.

I dont know ive never heard of it.
I got this off the PMC website.
Energy (ft.lbs):

144

Velocity (ft/sec):

Muzzle - 1800
25 yds - 1672
50 yds - 1552
75 yds - 1439
100 yds - 1332

Bullet Path (inches):

25 yds +0.35
50 yds 0.00
75 yds -3.52
100 yds -6.61

I dont know, but that seems a little week compared to the 17 hmr.

you are correct the 17 PMC is the same as the 17 aguila. A few months back I read a review done by Aguila where they were shooting 17 aguila through a 17 mach 2 chamber and were having great results.

Theres no sense in having a smaller caliber like that when you could go buy a .22 LR and get the exact same results because there are plenty of .22 LR loads out there that are pushin 200ft lbs.

My .17 Mach 2 is gettin about 170ft lbs with a 17gr V-Max goin 2122fps.
