Trigger Mike 1,136 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I bought some 17hmr a while back but didn't look in the bag and notice they gave me 2 boxes of mach 2 instead. Since stores have lots of it but no hmr I am stuck with it. I have a Ruger American 17hmr. I have ruger 22 mag pistols. Since no one has a 17 mach 2 gun in stock, can I shoot the ammo out of anything I have on hand? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gracos Kid 84 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Mike, I have a 17 Mach 2 rifle....I would suggest NOT trying to shoot Mach 2 in any other caliber gun, as the bullet diameter is slightly smaller, and ultimately will tumble rather than spin as it exits the barrel. I would think the store might trade back if they are local to you now. If not, maybe you can sell to someone near you..... Mach 2 seems to be the only 17 readily available at the moment, but is priced higher than normal..... Gracos Kid Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You would need a conversion barrel AND bolt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
