Q: Is this ammo .17HM2 the same as .17HMR. In other words will it fire from a rifle chambered in .17HMR??
Posted On: 12/29/12 By: Wesley Gilbert
A: The .17 HMR and HM2 are different cartridges and will not be interchangeable with each other. While it is known for the .22 , 22 long and 22 LR to accept shorter rounds than the chamber, this will not be the case with .17 ammo due to the design of the brass.
