Is the .17 Remington a rimfire cartridge? I am not asking about the Hornadys .17 HMR. Thanks!?

Yes, the .17 Remington is a centerfire cartridge.|||The 17 rem is a centerfire based on a necked down .223 rem which also has the shoulder moved back. The 17 Fireball is also a centerfire regardless of what brettfra said. It is based on a 221 remington Fireball cartridge necked down to 17 caliber. The 17 HMR and 17 Mach IV are both rimfires.|||Go here for information on the .17 Remington.* %26gt; Just type in .17 Remington in the web search area, and it will take you to the article on the .17 Remington.*... It is a center fire, first introduced in 1971, with a muzzle velocity of over 4,000 feet per second, maximum effective range is 500 yards, it comes in bullet weights of 20, 25, or 30 grain .* It was introduced by Remington Arms Co. for their Model 700 Rifles.*|||nope, it%26#039;s a centerfire, this is why hornady made the .17 HMR, because remington had the only 17 calibre cartridge out there, so hornady made a rimfire 17, now hornady makes two, the 17HMR and the 17 mach 2, the HMR is based on the 22 magnum and the mach 2 is based on the 22 LR.|||Remington does make a .17 Fireball that is rimfire. The older .17 Remington is centerfire.|||.17 Remington is centerfire rifle.


17HMR is rimfire.|||No it is a centerfire.|||No it is a centerfire.
