I asked if he ment 22lr but he was adamant it was a 17hmr. I have not heard of sub for hmr can anybody shead some light on this ? Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 The only two plants capable of manufacturing HMR ammunition, Winchester and CCI, don't make a subsonic HMR round. So unless he's manually unseating the bullet and removing some of the powder...it sounds far fetched to me. Quote Link to post
Bigad 136 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Thought it sounded odd but had to ask cause would have loved to give some ago Quote Link to post
shropshire dan 467 Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 +1 1st I've heard of them if they are available. Defies the point of the hmr if that was the case Quote Link to post
Graham M 36 Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Hmr 17grn - 2550fps Hmr 20grn - 2300fps I think someone has been yanking his chain G Quote Link to post

paulus 26 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Perhaps he is a touch deaf Quote Link to post
Bigad 136 Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I did question him saying are you sure it's not a 22lr tryed to explain about the sonic crack but he would not have it Quote Link to post
