What Is A 17 HMR Rifle For?
. 17 HMR is primarily used for mid-range small game and vermin hunting. The bullet’s speed and accuracy make it ideal for hunting rabbits, opossums, and raccoons from up to 200 yards away.
What Is The Difference Between A 17 And A 17 HMR?
The 17 WSM sends out a 20-grain bullet at 3,000 fps, while the HMR sends out a 17-grain shot at 2,550 fps. In a 10 mph crosswind, the WSM will drift 1.6 inches off the HMR at 3.1 inches. That could be the difference between a hit and a miss.
