But I have a Remington 581 action waiting as soon as I can get a reamer.

Re: .17 Winchester Super Magnum...
I was disappointed . I was hoping for a 20 cal rimfire . With a heavier bullet it would better for yotes. The weight of the 17 cal bullet doesn't guarantee to get the job done past 100 yards. I like the 17HMR on crows and pigeons.

utilize the 30 grain bullet.
Re: .17 Winchester Super Magnum...
Rimfires don't particularly intrest me . Mainly because all you can do is buy ammo and shoot them .
I like casting my own bullets and making my own loaded rounds . Even if I don't cast for them I prefer reloading for most of my jacketed round rifles as well .
We do however have loaded rounds , dies , brass and bullets for the 17 Hornet and two CZ527 HB rifles for the cartridge on order !
Ones for a friend and the others for my gunsmith buddy !

Tried and failed. I can't see ammo companies rushing down that road again. I think the .20 fad is over as far as the general shooting public goes.BenT wrote:I was disappointed . I was hoping for a 20 cal rimfire.

No,
I have that 581 action waiting.
Need to wait for a reamer and ammo.
Should be good pest medicine.
Time will tell.

I'm holding a box of Velociters in my hand. It says 1435 fps. Thats a bit shy of 3000.harry wrote:You need to tell us where you get these 3000 fps 22LR shells.tman wrote:I'd rather have 22LR Velocitors. Twice as heavy and almost as fast. And alot cheaper.
That said, for a 40gr 22lr thats pretty good. Haven't had a calm day to put them out to the 100 yrd target yet.

Re: .17 Winchester Super Magnum...
With that said, I'll still take a .22lr. over it, anyday.

Re: .17 Winchester Super Magnum...
I shoot a lot of 17, but it's airguns, not rimfire. Works great on rabbits, pigeons, english sparrows, squirrels, european starlings, gophers and groundhogs out to about 50 yards or so.

Re: .17 Winchester Super Magnum...
That's mostly a stunt, and if I remember right range was inches. But at even a lowly 700 to 900fps, 50-60 yards is very doable on rabbits and even smaller game. There are people trying to do 1" at 100, it's rare but it has been done. Accuracy on these guns is amazing. Every shot in a dime at 20 is expected accuracy even from inexpensive guns, a good gun can put 5 shots into a quarter at 50 and many can do measurably better. They are impressive, cheaper to shoot than a .22, and at the same basic ranges equally effective on small game or target. The .22 has advantages, but for my needs, the pellet gun has taken over it's role. Cleaning a few animals hit with a pellet will really make you take a long hard look at how much power a lowly .22lr really has. We really do not give it enough credit.

One of our English friends, Nath I believe, has killed a fox with .177 air.
An amazing feat, not something we colonials would consider.

Re: .17 Winchester Super Magnum...
Has anyone come across a web link to a dimensioned illustration of the cartridge? How does the case differ from 22 Rim Mag?
Re: .17 Winchester Super Magnum...
I did on the web, but it was small and I did not know how to enlarge.
