CCI .17 HMR FMJ Ammo FAQ:

No, .17 HMR cartridges are rimfire, which means they cannot be safely or effectively reloaded like centerfire ammunition. The primer is part of the case rim and is crushed upon firing, making reloading impossible.

The effective range of this ammunition can extend beyond 200 yards, thanks to its high velocity and flat trajectory. However, factors such as wind, shooter skill, and firearm quality can affect practical accuracy at longer distances.

No, CCI uses non-corrosive primers in all their modern ammunition, including this .17 HMR FMJ. This means it won't leave corrosive residues in your firearm, simplifying cleaning and maintenance

The 20gr bullet is slightly heavier than the common 17gr options in .17 HMR. This additional weight can provide better stability and energy retention at longer ranges, potentially improving long-range accuracy.

The FMJ design can offer excellent accuracy, often on par with CCI's VNT or TNT offerings. However, individual firearms may show preferences for certain bullet designs, so accuracy can vary between guns.

Yes, it's suitable for indoor range use. The FMJ design minimizes lead exposure compared to exposed lead bullets, which is often a consideration for indoor ranges. However, always check with your local range for specific ammunition restrictions.

The FMJ design typically feeds very reliably in semi-automatic firearms. Its smooth profile and consistent dimensions contribute to smooth cycling and reliable feeding in most .17 HMR semi-auto rifles.

Yes, this ammunition is suitable for use in any firearm chambered for .17 HMR, including bolt action and single-shot rifles. In fact, many shooters find that bolt action rifles provide the best accuracy potential with this cartridge

The .17 HMR 20gr FMJ will have a significantly flatter trajectory than most .22 LR loads at long range. This flatter trajectory, combined with higher velocity, makes it easier to achieve hits at extended distances without as much holdover.

While the .17 HMR can potentially penetrate thin steel targets, it's generally not recommended to use it on steel due to ricochet risks. Always use appropriate targets designed for rimfire use and follow all safety guidelines.
