17HM2 was always a caliber I wished I had gotten into. I sometimes very casually wonder if I made an error when I passed on a Spike’s Tactical 22LR SBR upper custom built for their owner in 17HM2. I still remember cases of ammo on closeout for $220/5k, but that was twice the cost of Federal 22LR at the time.
Seems like a superb little round going the way of 5mm Remington due to the unfortunate luck of rushed designs and (roughly) similar introduction time of 17HMR.
The 17 Mach 2. I just picked up 1,000 round last week over in the marxist state if illinios. Looks as if they have just made another run of the 17 HM2 (mach 2).
