About LinkBacksIt's called the .17 Winchester Super Magnum, and it sets a new standard in rimfire performance by pushing a 20-grain bullet to 3,000 fps and a 25-grain to 2,600 fps.
Those are the quickest times ever posted by a commercial rimfire cartridge.
Read the aticle here : .17 Winchester Super Magnum Rimfire Cartridge | Ron Spomer | Gun Blog
May make the .17HMR Redundant after such a short time. Except for the ammo cost.. Mind you .17 at 39.95 for 50 is still 0.79 per shot.
My last .223 got down to 0.59 in bulk...

Apples with apples a brick of hmr is $220 from quentin at 45south so $0.44 c. One will always have a place in my safe. Originally Posted by Happy

Another barrel burner from the fastest is best brigade.
Manufacturers of ammunition are also notorious for over stating "Advertised Velocities".
3000fps in test conditions is probally more like 2700fps to you and me in the real world.
Cheers

Bloody hell Happy where are you buying your ammo from? Even a single box at a time is $27 here.
The HMR has been around for a decade already and there's less difference between the 17WSM and HMR than there is between 22mag and HMR. Id be more interested in a 17 hornet. At least you can reload.

I'm more interested in the new Savage rimfire action they've been using to test it! Sounds like it has some potential, I might be tempted by one in 22LR when they release it in other calibers.

Re: Fastest Rimfire in the World ...
And if you had one you could go round making outrageous statements like "hmr....pfft might as well have a bb gun"
