Who's making .17 cal bullets in 2022?
Please suggest me who is making .17 cal bullets in 2022? Is there any?
|
I also want to know.

Have you found?
|
The email I got yesterday (Monday 7/25/2022) from Powder Valley says they have .172 20 gr V-Max and .172 20 gr Nosler Varmagedden in stock.
They also say they have 17 gr .17 HMR cartridges in stock. |
you've got me a bit curious, in that admittedly I've never owned or hunted with a centerfire 17 cal rifle,
what are the advantages if any over a similar 22 cal, (and don't say less recoil even if technically true ) theres not enough recoil in my 22 cal varmint rifles to even notice |
The advantage of centerfire 17’s over 22’s is blistering speed from itty bitty cases which yields ridiculously satisfying expansion on varmints in the midrange.
|
again just curious, not in any way suggesting you can't just having no experience with a 17 cal center fire, can you zap varmint's out at 200-300 yards or more with a 17?
like you can with some of the faster 22 cals? is it reasonable to expect a 17cal to take out lets say prairie dogs and maybe occasionally a coyote out at 200-300 yards or more with a 17? I know I have a browning 78 heavy barrel single shot in 223 that will, and a 223 is hardly a FAST 22 cal. |

At 800-1000+, sure, I’d rather have a 223 with a 77smk, or better still, a 6mm, but at 0-600, the 17’s (and 20’s) are very productive. Frankly, even running over 1000fps slower, p dogs out to 200-300yrds is easy squeazy even with my little 17WSM (Rimfire). |
thank you! I appreciate the input!

I think the first 3 posts are actually bots by the look of the click bait in the OP's signature. How convenient the next two posters replied with their 1 and only post on HNI.
