Can you shoot a 17LR/17 MACH 2 round in a gun designed for 17 HMR, specifically a revolver?
Kind of like .38Special in a .357MAG revolver.

It's a necked-down cartridge so I'm thinking it's unlikely.

Is there such thing as a revolver in 17HMR? I've never heard of one.

NO, the .17 HMR and the .17 Mach II are not interchangable as the are made on differant cases.

The HMR is based on a necked down .22 Magnum while the Mach II is based on the .22 long rifle.


Ruger, Taurus and Heritage all make REVOLVERS in 17 HMR to name a few.


Hope this clears things up.
