David Hancock Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Very interested in this if anyone knows when it may be available in the UK. Varmint LF (Lead-Free) 17 HMR SPECS: 15.5gr NXT tipped lead-free bullet, 2550 FPS For 2011, Winchester is introducing a new 17HMR version of its popular Lead-Free (LF) rimfire ammo. The new 17HMR LF shoots a lightweight, 15.5gr tipped NXT bullet at a blistering 2550 fps, making this some of the highest-velocity rimfire ammo you can buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that its designed for states over the pond that dont allow theuse of lead in hunting rounds. Does look interesting but i think it may well be badly effected by wind.

The_Dogge Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Indeed, a 9% drop in sectional density with no increase in velocity. Why would you shoot them if you didnt have to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
