Following the success of the .17 HMR, the .17 Hornady Mach 2 was introduced in early 2004. The .17 HM2 is based on the .22 LR (slightly shorter in case length) case necked down to .17 caliber using the same bullet as the HMR but at a velocity of approximately 2,100 feet per second (640 m/s) in the 17-grain (1.1 g) polymer tip loading.
[7] [8] Many .17 Remington shooters have reported optimum accuracy when the bore is cleaned after every 10 - 20 shots, [7] [8] [9] though more modern metallurgy used in both barrels and bullets has largely mitigated the fouling issue. The .17 Remington is also one of the few cartridges in which powder charge weight is often greater than bullet ...

The Armscor M1700 is a compact, bolt-action hunting rifle chambered for the .17 HMR cartridge. Originally designed for hunting, like its predecessor the Armscor M1600, it is also used for pest-control. Its light weight (6 lb) and short length (40.5 in) make it a comfortable weapon to shoot up to and beyond 300 feet. [1]
Lower initial mass gives small fragment ricochets less damage potential, and distance of travel is reduced by more rapid loss of velocity from air resistance. Reduced ricochet range is one of the reasons the newer .17 HMR round with its frangible bullet has gained popularity against the older non-fragmenting .22 WMR. Ricochets can be lethal.
The .17 Remington Fireball / 4.4x36mm was created in 2007 by Remington Arms Company as a response to the popular wildcat round, the .17 Mach IV. Factory loads drive a 20 grain (1.3 g) bullet around 4,000 ft/s (1,219 m/s).
