Overview of 17 HMR Ammo
17 HMR (Hornady Magnum Rimfire) is a fast, flat-shooting rimfire cartridge built for varmints and small game. It fires a tiny .172-inch bullet, usually 17 to 20 grains, at around 2,350 to 2,550 fps. That gives it a much flatter trajectory than .22 LR or .22 WMR, making it easy to hit prairie dogs, groundhogs, and squirrels out to about 150 to 200 yards.
17 HMR runs in bolt-action and some semi-auto rimfire rifles, as well as a few revolvers. For a heavier magnum rimfire option, see our 22 WMR ammo.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I shoot 17 HMR in a 22 Magnum rifle?
No. 17 HMR uses a 22 WMR case necked down to .17 caliber, so the two look similar, but they are not interchangeable. Only fire 17 HMR in a firearm chambered for 17 HMR.
What is the effective range of 17 HMR?
17 HMR is effective on varmints and small game out to about 150 to 200 yards. Its light bullets are affected by wind at longer distances, so most shooters keep shots within that range.
Is 17 HMR good for coyotes?
17 HMR can take coyotes at close range with precise shot placement, but its light bullets limit penetration. Most predator hunters prefer a centerfire cartridge like .223 Remington or 22-250 for coyotes.
More About 17 HMR Ammo
Hornady introduced 17 HMR in 2002, working with Marlin, Ruger, and CCI. The design necked down the 22 WMR case to hold a 17-grain V-MAX bullet, creating a rimfire that shot flatter and more accurately than anything before it.
17 HMR was an instant hit with varmint hunters and remains one of the most popular rimfire cartridges in North America. CCI, Federal, Remington, and Hornady all produce it, and rifles are available from Ruger, Savage, CZ, and many others.
