If 17HMR is so great. Why is it that I can find it in stock everywhere. When it comes to all of the other Rimfire it is out of stock. I own one myself. Ninety percent of the time if I'm going to be taking hundred yard shots, I grab a 22WMR.
Probably less than 1% 17HMR demand as compared to 22LR to feed.
Supply and demand!
