Madison, N.C. – In 2007, Remington brought new life into the
world of 17 caliber centerfire rifle ammunition with the
introduction of the 17 Remington Fireball. This new cartridge
eclipses the popular 17HMR by an astonishing 1450fps and has quickly
gained the overwhelming approval of small-caliber centerfire fans.
New for 2008, Remington has expanded the 17 Remington Fireball
lineup to include a UMC brand 25 grain JHP in 50 round bulk
packaging. This new offering provides the hunter and shooter with an
economical, heavier-grain option for volume shooting while adding
increased penetration on larger predators like fox, coyote and
bobcat.
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.
Whether you’re pursuing prairie dogs, ground hogs, coyotes, or
targets, the 17 Remington Fireball puts the fun back into centerfire
rifle shooting.
