Ihave had a ton of misfires and I am still tring to find out why too
Nobody. The .17 HMR (for Hornady Magnum Rimfire), is a rimfire cartridge, not a center fire cartridge.Anschutz, CZ-USA, Henry, Weatherby, Ruger, Remington, Marlin, Browning, Savage, and Crickett are among the list of manufacturers who manufactures .17HMR rifles, but, as with the cartridge, they are all rimfire rifles.
would be rimfire such as .17hm2, .17hmr, .22 short, .22 lr .22 mag, .22wa and 5 mm Remington Rimfire Magnum
17 caliber rimfire
I think the .17HMR would be a better choice all around, I have both and the 17HMR is better by far. The .22 bullet travels about 900'-1300' FPS and the .17HMR travels at 2200'- 2500 FEET PER SECOND.
A 22 Magnum (or Winchester 22-WMR) is rimfire cartridge, same with 17HMR and the 22-WRF. <><><> The .22 Jet, which is a centerfire, was also known as the .22 Magnum Centerfire- but they are rather rare. Most .22 magnums will be, as he said right up there- rimfire. <><><> I forgot about the 22 Remington Jet. (also known as .22 Center Fire Magnum, or .22 CFM) Nice update, thanks.
No, firearms chambered in .22 short, .22 long, .22 magnum, .17HMR, etc... are all currently being manufactured. These all use rimfire ammunition.
NO. The case is too large to enter a 22LR chamber. If chambered in a .22 magnum, you will be firing a .17 caliber bullet out of a .223 barrel, with no accuracy at all, and splitting the cartridge case.
No not that I am aware of.
