  17HMR vs 17Mach2 cartridge

The 17 HMR is a necked down 22 Mag, the Mach 2 is a necked down 22 Long Rifle. It uses the same bullet as the HMR but is slower and even more prone to wind drift.

Some of the latest reviews, now that the "new" hype has passed, are saying that neither 17 has the killing power of the parent cartridge on anything larger than a ground squirrel.

Yes, look at the Hornet. Neat little cartridge.

One thing I think we can establish: 17 rimfires and woodchucks should not be in the same picture, unless you are pretty close and real good with head shots.

Yooper: There are some newish rounds out now for the 22 mag, with lighter weight bullets, increased range and killing power on coyote size and smaller critters.

If you like Mauser's, as I do, you should take a peek at CZ rifles. They have a scaled down mauser action chambered in 22 Hornet, which by the way, has some new, hot factory loadings that make it a true 300 yard varmint getter.
