Anschutz 1517 HB G20 Beavertail 18" - 17 HMR - 014788 :
The model 1517 is a modified version of the Match 64 series Anschutz receiver. The external diameter was enlarged from 25 mm to 26 mm. The weight of the receiver was increased by 12 percent to add rigidity. The locking surface was enlarged by 15 percent which leads to even more safety for the shooter when firing a shot. The new shape of the receiver is continued in the firing pin nut which makes the system more elegant.

17 HMR

.17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (4.5x27mmR), commonly known as the .17 HMR, is a rimfire rifle cartridge developed by the ammunition company Hornady in 2002. It descended from the .22 Magnum by necking down the .22 Magnum case to take a .17 caliber (4.5 mm) projectile. Commonly loaded with a 17 grain (1.1 g) projectile, it can deliver muzzle velocities in excess of 775 m/s (2550 ft/s).


Suggested Use

  • Predators
  • Small Game
  • Varmint

Advantages

Faster flight: 2350-2550fps compared to the Hornady 2200fps 22Wmr 30gr rounds

Flatter trajectory

Longer range. Bullets expand better especially at longer ranges e.g. 150 yards

As the round is faster there is less chance of ricochet due to bullet 'break up' at shorter ranges
