The maximum range is somewhere around 1.5 to 2 miles, however, it's effective range is much less. These are extremely accurate cartridges to about 125-150 yards. Beyond that, the round is dropping velocity quickly due to the very light weight bullet, and at 200 yards would be 5 inches below the line of sight for a 100 yd zero, and drop even more quickly beyond 200.

You want to buy your first rifle Is the 22lr or 17HMR the best bet for hunting varmints and occasional target practice?
I think the .17HMR would be a better choice all around, I have both and the 17HMR is better by far. The .22 bullet travels about 900'-1300' FPS and the .17HMR travels at 2200'- 2500 FEET PER SECOND.
Can you shoot a 17HMR out of a 22Magnum rifle?
NO! This will damage your rifle. ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!This might also damage the shooter...A 17HMR's bullet is .172 diameter a .22 Mag is .224,and the difference in cases means theres gonna be some rupturing,damaging the gun and the shooter....DONT DO IT!!!!
