Frequently Asked Questions
17 Winchester Super Magnum Ammo
Is 17 WSM ammo discontinued?
No, .17 WSM is not discontinued, but availability is troubled. Hornady stopped producing it, Winchester faced manufacturing equipment problems in 2023, and Volquartsen discontinued their semi-auto rifles chambered for it partly due to ammo variances.
What is a 17 win super mag good for?
The .17 WSM excels at varmint and predator control, delivering centerfire-like velocity around 3,000 fps in a rimfire package. Its flat trajectory makes it effective on prairie dogs, woodchucks, and similar targets to 200 yards. Also suitable for small-game hunting and plinking.
How much does a 17 WSM drop at 200 yards?
A 20 grain .17 WSM bullet drops approximately 4.1 inches at 200 yards when zeroed at 100 yards. The .17 HMR drops roughly 8.4 inches at the same distance, giving the WSM a notable ballistic advantage among rimfire cartridges.
What's the difference between a 17 HMR and a 17 Super Mag?
The .17 HMR pushes a 17-grain bullet at 2550 fps, while the .17 WSM drives a 20-grain bullet at 3000 fps. That extra velocity gives the WSM a flatter trajectory, roughly 155 ft-lbs more energy, and better performance on larger varmints like coyotes. HMR ammunition costs less per round.
What is the best 17 WSM rifle?
"Best" depends on your needs, but popular choices include the Ruger 77/17, Savage Arms A17 Sporter, Volquartsen .17 WSM Autoloader, and the Primal Rights 17WSM, often cited as the most accurate option.
How much is a 17 super mag?
.17 Super Mag rifles are currently listed at prices such as $439.99, $549.99, $589.99, and $619.99 depending on model and retailer. Winchester manufactures this cartridge primarily for varmint and predator hunting. Availability varies across numerous retailers.
