Remington's offering in the .17 HMR caliber features a 20-grain Jacketed Soft Point bullet, designed to deliver consistent performance for both varmint hunting and target shooting. This rimfire cartridge provides an effective balance of speed and accuracy, with a muzzle velocity of 2375 fps. The JSP bullet construction allows for rapid expansion upon impact with small game, while still maintaining enough integrity for good penetration. Hunters appreciate its effectiveness on small varmints, while target shooters enjoy its flat trajectory and minimal wind drift at longer ranges. As with all rimfire ammunition, it's important to note that performance can vary depending on the specific firearm used.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What is the effective range of the Remington .17 HMR 20gr JSP?

A: The effective range is typically up to 200 yards for varmint hunting. However, skilled shooters can extend this range to 300 yards or more for target shooting, thanks to the cartridge's high velocity and flat trajectory.

Q: How does the .17 HMR compare to the .22 LR in terms of performance?

A: The .17 HMR offers significantly higher velocity and flatter trajectory than the .22 LR, making it more effective at longer ranges. However, the .22 LR is generally less expensive and produces less noise, making it more suitable for very close range or indoor shooting.

Q: Can I use this ammunition in a .17 HM2 (Mach 2) rifle?

A: No, you cannot use .17 HMR ammunition in a .17 HM2 rifle. The two cartridges are different in size and pressure, and using the wrong ammunition can be dangerous and may damage your firearm.

Q: What is the recoil like with this ammunition?

A: The recoil of the .17 HMR is generally very mild, making it comfortable to shoot for extended periods. This low recoil also contributes to its accuracy, as it allows for quick follow-up shots and reduces shooter fatigue.

Q: How does the 20gr bullet weight compare to other .17 HMR options?

A: The 20gr bullet is one of the heaviest commonly available for the .17 HMR. This weight provides a good balance between velocity and downrange energy, making it versatile for both varmint hunting and target shooting.

Q: Is the Remington .17 HMR 20gr JSP suitable for hunting coyotes?

A: While it can be used for coyotes at close ranges with precise shot placement, it's generally considered underpowered for ethical coyote hunting. It's more suitable for smaller varmints like prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and rabbits.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for small game hunting?

A: Yes, the Remington 20025 Magnum Jacketed Soft Point .17 HMR ammunition is well-suited for small game hunting and varmint control due to its high velocity and controlled expansion bullet design.
