Recently we posted a review about two rifles chambered in .22 Mag and .223 Rem. Originally that article was going to cover the .17 HMR as well. After delving into its interesting background, currently available platforms and load options, it seemed like a good idea to give the .17 HMR an article of its own with plenty of room to explore various loads and work with two test rifles instead of just one.
New cartridge introductions are one of the key engines to the success of not only ammunition companies, but also rifle, and sometimes, even handgun makers.
