“22 mag”

Hornady’s dive into a .17-caliber rimfire was met with fanfare, as it truly was—and still is—a decided improvement over the long-range ballistics of any of the .22 rimfire cartridges.

Driving a 40-grain bullet at a muzzle velocity of between 1875 and 1910 fps, if you desire to pursue furbearers and varmints at ranges beyond what the .22 LR can handle, the .22 WMR is your cartridge.

Last year CCI released its .17 HMR load with the Speer VNT bullet; the polymer tip helps to retain velocity at further ranges, and the thin, frangible jacket gives near-explosive performance on game. For 2019, CCI has expanded the line with two new offerings: the .17 Mach 2 and the .22 WMR.
