No. They are not designed to fire a 17 cal bullet
They are both very cheap rounds ment for pests and varments. The .22 cal shoots on average 1000fps on the other hand the .17 hmr will easily put out 2250fps Its all up to you and what you prefer have to say the .17 hmr is the better all around choice.

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,
17 HMR and .17 Mach II are nice fast little rounds. The HMR is necked down from the .22 magnum the Mach II necked down from a .22 long rifle. They are nice target rounds and good for squirrels, rabbits, ground hogs and even coyote with a well placed shot if it's within 50 yards or longer distance for the .17 HMR. they would be good for raccoon if trapped or feral cats should the need arise. They could easily kill a 300 pound hog for butchering if shot behind the ear. They are little bullets, but very fast and still dangerous so be sure of your target and the region beyond.
