No.
About 1 mile
I believe the smallest bullet in terms of diameter is the .17 HMR. It is a .22 casing that is necked down to accept a .17 caliber bullet.
Rossi is coming close with a single shot rifle ( the wizard) with interchangable barrels. They boast 21 different combos and include shotguns. As far as a gun that can shoot everything from a 17 HMR to a 50 caliber bullet the answer is no.
Pretty much any bolt action.
Depends on WHICH .170 rifle. The .17 HMR has a max range of about 1.5 miles.
22LR high velocity - MV= 1260 fps 17 HMR MV= 2550 fps A lot faster, huh?
Only if you want very bad things to happen to you and the firearm.
hornady magnum rimfire
Ruger makes the New Model Single Six in .17 HMR, Taurus makes the 17SS6 in .17 HMR, the S&W 647 is available in .17 HMR, the Taurus Tracker can be had in .17 HMR, Alexander Arms and Excel Arms both make semi auto .17 HMR pistols,
The .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (HMR) IS the name of the cartridge. It is a bottle necked rimfire cartridge- similiar to a a .22 Magnum necked down to .17 caliber bullet. Bullets used in this cartridge may be several different types, but are typically 20 grains or 17 grains in weight.
No. They are not designed to fire a 17 cal bullet
That all depends on which ,17 caliber. There are .177 caliber air rifles,. a couple of different .17 rimfires, and a few .17 caliber centerfire rifles. Assuming you mean the .17 HMR (fairly popular right now) the bullet can travel over a mile, but not accurately. For small game and varmint control, about 150-200 yards. The cartridge is accurate beyond that, but energy drops quickly, and so does the flight path of the bullet. I have seen these used for shooting metal plates at several hundred yards.
