Ozzie Reviews provides a beginner-friendly overview of the 17 HMR caliber, highlighting its development from a necked-down .22 Magnum case. The review details its pros, including flat trajectory, high velocity for a rimfire, and low recoil, making it suitable for extended ranges up to 150-200 yards. Cons discussed are limited bullet weight options (typically 17 or 20 grains) and a tendency for thin cleaning rods to bend. The caliber is available in various rifle platforms from manufacturers like Anschutz, CZ, Ruger, and Remington.
This video provides an expert introduction to the Anschutz 1416 HB .22LR rifle by Steve Boelter, R&D Lead for Anschutz. It highlights the rifle's bolt-action repeater design, fully adjustable trigger, and high-quality barrel, drawing parallels to Anschutz's competitive shooting legacy in the Olympics and Biathlon. The review covers key features like the receiver's 11mm groove, the all-steel detachable magazine, and the oil-finished wood stock, positioning it as a precise option for new and experienced shooters alike with an MSRP of $1299.
