Have you seen in the latest issues of certain gun magazines for this new rimfire round?
Is is being touted as the largest un-veiling of a cartrige in firearms history. Several maufactures are collaborating to produce ammo and guns for this "event".
But do we really need anothe rimfire after the .17hmr? What purpose does this do other than to entertain us? That in itself can be a good thing.
A box of 50 shells will retail for a bout $6-$8, roughly in line with higher grade target ammo. At press time there is not "cheap" ammo expected.
Same .17gr in the .17Mach2 bullet, as in it's larger brother the .17HMR.
I admit, I have a love for the rimfire, but is this going to create a new rimfire demand and upset the "tradition" for the venerable .22LR being the most popular rimfire?
