17 HM2 in 17HMR ?

[troller]

I'm sure someone else has asked this question already, but I have not seen it addressed. What are the pro's and con's of shooting the shorter 17 HM2 in a 10-22 type,Volquartsen) 17HMR ?

not a good idea it is not a straight walled case-it is much shorter-it is smaller in diameter etc-etc

It would be like that, but on a smaller scale. The .17 HM2 and .17 HMR are not compatible like a .22 LR and .22 Short... just because you can chamber a .17 HM2 in a .17 HMR does not mean it was meant for that and would be safe or of any use.

I have built a 17M2 10/22.
The bolt handle has to be extra heavy to delay the blow back.

10/22s in 22 mag and 17HRM can have problems with extraction.

Ruger does not make the 10/22 in 22 mag any more.
