RE: Whats the difference 17 hmr and 17hm2?
The 17 HMR is based on a 22 mag case necked down to hold a .17 cal bullet and typically shoots a 17 gr bullet at appx. 2550fps while on the other hand the 17 Mach2 is based on a 22 long rifle case necked down to hold a .17 caliber bullet and it's velocity with the same 17 gr bullet is appx 2100fps so to answer your question there is about450fps difference between the two. The HMR ammo is themore expensive of the two.

So the 17 HM2 is still more powerful and effective on a coyote then a 22 lr rimfire?

the .17 HMR or HM2 or the .22 is NOT A COYOTE RIFLE. Ya, it has been done but it not a good idea. You wanna hunt Coyote? Get a rifle that can get the job done right.
