Madison, NC – In recent years, new
introductions of .17 caliber rimfire cartridges have taken the
hunting
and shooting industry by storm. The .17HMR and .17 Mach 2 brought
new levels of rimfire performance to
varmint hunters and target shooters alike. New for 2007, Remington
plans to re-energize the world of 17 caliber
centerfire ammunition with the introduction of the .17 Remington
Fireball. This addition to Remington’s
Premier® AccuTip™ Line eclipses the popular 17HMR by an astonishing
1450fps!
The 17 Remington Fireball, based on the classic .221 Remington
Fireball case, is an extremely well balanced
cartridge that provides laser-flat trajectory, with match grade
accuracy, all in a compact package that does not
require excessive maintenance and won’t burn out barrels. When
loaded with Remington’s super accurate 20gr
AccuTip-V bullet, the .17 Remington Fireball has a blistering muzzle
velocity of 4000fps, rivaling the velocity
and trajectory of the legendary 22-250 Remington out to 300 yards.
That’s awesome performance from a
cartridge that uses 50% less powder and generates a whopping 86%
less recoil than the 22-250. You’ll never lose
sight of your target when firing the .17 Remington Fireball, even
with rifles scoped with today’s high-power
optics.
The 17 Remington Fireball is perfectly suited to short action
firearms with 223 Remington bolt dimensions.
To further complement this offering, look for exciting new rifles
chambered in this caliber in Remington’s 2007
lineup. From the work-horse Model 700SPS to the beautiful model
Seven CDL, you’re sure to find the perfect
combination to suit your needs. Whether you’re pursuing prairie
dogs, ground hogs, coyotes, or targets, the .17
Remington Fireball puts the fun back into 17 caliber centerfire
rifle shooting.
