.17 HMR Trajectory Calculator
The 17 HMR represents a significant advancement in rimfire technology, offering performance that sets it apart from traditional options. These baseline ballistics show a 17-grain bullet with a .155 ballistic coefficient moving at an impressive 2,550 fps. When zeroed at 100 yards, this setup delivers the flat trajectory and precision that has made the cartridge a favorite among varmint hunters and target shooters.
While these default numbers show the cartridge's potential, factors like wind and environmental conditions can significantly impact such a light bullet's trajectory. Our calculator allows you to account for all these variables with precision. Whether you're dealing with crosswinds, shooting at elevation, or working with different angles, you can input your specific conditions to get accurate ballistic data.
Examine the trajectory chart and table below for a detailed look at the round's performance in 25-yard increments out to 300 yards. Need to match the calculator to your exact shooting conditions? The Modify Calculation button lets you input your specific environmental data and shooting scenario. From wind speed to temperature and pressure, you can dial in every variable that matters.
