.17 HMR muzzle velocity
9 on the floor
Member Posts: 1,606 ✭✭✭✭✭
My TC Contender .17HMR has a 23" factory barrel.
It's probably the straightest shooting short range rifle I own, but is muzzle heavy and looks ridiculous.
I'm thinking of having it lopped off and recrowned to 18"-20" but don't want to give up any velocity.
I only shoot Hornady 17g V-Max loads in it.
Anyone know what the optimum barrel length would be for this cartridge?

because all the powder has burned and friction of bullet in the bore slows the bullet down . I am sure someone has done studies on your cartridge the 17.
