.17 HMR Trajectory Calculator
The .17 HMR is a flat-shooting rimfire cartridge built for varmint and small game hunting. With a 17-grain bullet at 2,550 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 7.2 inches of drop at 200 yards, 15.8 inches at 250 yards, and 29.0 inches at 300 yards. The lightweight bullet sheds velocity quickly past 200 yards, so most shooters keep shots under 150 yards for consistent accuracy.
Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. The .17 HMR comes in 15.5 to 20 grain options with varying velocities. You can also factor in wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions.
Compare up to 5 different loads. The current caliber (.17 HMR) is pre-selected for the first load.
