17 WSM Ammo

In an unusual case (no pun intended), the .17 WSM (Winchester Super Magnum) was created based on the .27 blanks typically used in nail guns, but necked down to fit a smaller caliber bullet. It is a very high velocity cartridge firing a spitzer bullet that performs well in a small game hunting role.

.17 WSM ammo loads fire a light 20-25 grain bullet at a muzzle velocity of up to 3,000 feet per second. This high velocity aids fragmentation in hollow points for better performance against varmints.

Winchester and Hornady are the main manufacturers for this caliber; their ammo features polymer tipped bullets with high ballistic coefficient for accurate medium-range hunting.

    Look – we’ve all had the urge to steal Winchester Varmint HE 17 WSM ammunition before. Even a saint would have a hard time resisting the promises of smooth functionality, outstanding accuracy and decisive terminal performance. But we know a Widener’s customer would never stoop so low as to commit a crime, which is why we’re sure you’re all ready to pay your hard-earned for whole case of the good stuff.

    This round’s 25 grain polymer tipped projectile departs from the muzzle at a rate of 2,600 fps. Its flat base, sleek frontal profile and balanced weight distribution all contribute to its high 0.234 G1 ballistic coefficient. To put that in more practical terms, a 100-yard zero will drop to -1.8” at 150 yards, which is indeed impressively flat for a rimfire round.

    The polymer tipped bullet won’t just strike a small game animal with approximately 275 ft lbs of energy at 100 yards. It will also thoroughly kill said small game animal by expanding and fragmenting apart.

    You get 10 boxes of premium American-made rimfire ammunition when you order the entire case. Take note that this ammo is useless if you only have a 17 HMR or 17 HM2 firearm.
