.17 Win Super Mag Rimfire

[criticalbass]

Can't get "search" to work for me this morning, and do not spend much time on the rimfire forum, but this looks kind of interesting. Sorry if it's already been posted.

I was told there isn't a rifle available for it yet.

The Savage BMag may be showing up on shelves soon:

Well crap. Looks like I'll have to buy another .17.

According to this video Browning will have an 1885 offering in this caliber:

Anyone know of the twist rate? I surfed around and didn't find anything. I was thinking that if it was the same as .17 HMR it could be a easy chamber ream job for a H&R single shot, but then thought about rim diameter and FP position. Oh well, my HMR does everything I've asked of it and without being too noisy. 3000 FPS is gonna make more than a pop.

Could be really nice in a lightweight and short lever gun or SA rifle.

The HMR never really impressed me as I have a .22 hornet. Read an article on it and I may just have to get one of these. I wonder what the ammo will cost for this?

Midway has the ammo listed as "coming soon" at $14.99 a box. Or $13.99, $15.99.

The expected arrival date is 7/23/2013.

$0.30 / round ... I guess as long as you can't get your hands on 223 it makes sense

You're such a poo poo.

That is why I don't have a .17HMR now. I can reload a .223 or .22-250 and get way more capability.
