I don't own one either but I have seen the .17 HMR ammo by
CCi, Hornady, Federal, Winchester and Remington...
So there are some choices but I couldn't tell you which is the better choice.
Good Luck

I just bought a Savage 17 hmr today and bought CCI tnt 17 grain and Hornady 20 grain. It was dark when I got home so did not get a chance to try it out.

hornady created the round so it get the title to it in everyone else's name:wink:

Ive got a savage .17 and i love it. I shoot either remington premier magnum rimfire or hornady. I found that when i shot cci or any sort of hollow points, they didnt fly true and keep to the same pattern every time. Personally i would recommend to stay away from any kind of hollow points, but if you have good luck with sighting them in then go for it.

I sighted mine in last year with the hornady's at 75yds and they worked pretty good. I recently went to cabelas and bought the remington's and they work just as well. I just sighted it back in at 125yds, and im hitting a nickel size spot with five shots. So good luck

I'm gunna have to say whatever shoot best out of your gun. I have the savage 9317vs and it love the 17grn hornady vmax. But it still shoots everything sub moa at 100 yds. Weather being the biggest factor. But I use what groups best for me. Because I won't take a shot at any animal I'm not confadent in. Be it a squirl or an elk. Just my .02

Hornady 17gr v-max

remington loads shoot the best i think but for greater impact the CCi tnt loads are pretty consistant and make a bit of a hole too lol. ultimately i believe it what your gun likes the best we all know you can have 2 identical guns with same ammo and they won t shoot exactly the same . so whatever you find works well and you like through experimentation use it . i mentioned the rounds above as a starting point for ya. good luck have fun shooting.

do u know if a .17 Hmr is good for coyote hunting and whats the accuret range of a .17?

 

[Southern Man]

I don't know if this is the standard but a friend of mine shot a bobcat at 168 yards last fall. He coyotes hunts with it regularly.

I shot a coyote at 125 yards with mine a dropped it where it stood.I have tried just about every type of 17 hmr rounds.The Winchester Supremes shoot the best in mine.

the best ammo i found so far is cci 17gr speer tnt i like it because at 80yds i can drop a squirrel i have also been fox hunting with this ammo try it you will like it to

I have used the 17 hmr on coyote, every shot inside 100 yds and it was effective, good clean kill with proper shot placement, I use the 17 gr hornady vax out of my ruger, I wasn't hunting coyotes, just shots of opportunity when zapping crows. I have done pretty good with the 17, usually average a 1.5 inch group on paper at 200 yards on very calm days, the wind affects these little bullets pretty bad and since I live in oklahoma where the wind never stops blowing, I don't shoot it as much as I want to

i have a marlin 17hmr with a bull barrel i shoot cci tnt 17grain hollow points i have many headless squirrels to know it works well i shot them from 15yds to 80yds i love this gun and yes jake112 you can take down a coyote with it good clean head shot at 85yd did'nt know what hit him

Maybe out to like 100 yards or so but I personally wouldn't trust it. I would say .22mag as a minimum. The bullets for the .17HMR are just to small and light. I've got a .223 and a .243 that I use as coyote guns. A .17HMR would probably be accurate out to 100-175 yards.

The .17 HMR is a great choice for Coyote the .17hmr is very comparable to the .22WMR both are ideal for small to medium game out to 100 yards..
