Hi Joe,

Found this in a quick search:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.17_Winchester_Super_Magnum

Made for this rifle:

http://www.savagearms.com/bmag/bmag/

I'm sure there are other makes/models that will take that ammo now possibly...

Only pricing I could find was here, out of stock, and no backorder ( 154.99 for (10 Boxes of 50) ):

Hope that was the info you were looking for!

I'm sure there are other makes/models that will take that ammo now, including the Winchester 9417 Carbine.

Here are some listings for .17 HMR rifles on gunbroker:

Hope that was the info you were looking for!

Got it -S.c.o.t.t.(we really need a new name for you, that's a pain in my groin area)

I just got back from my LGS, he says he won't sell the rifles cause he cannot get them ammo, and if it becomes available it is an arm and a leg.
I thought a member here was looking for it, my memory is for sh*t. I need to search threads tonite when kids are sleeping.

Ya, you caught my quote before my many edits, it was a learning experience LOL

I got it confused with the .17 HMR which my OP has been updated to remove the inaccurate info...

Y looks like a niche find for sure, and the only link to the actual sale of the ammo was out of stock and no backorder, looks like it may have been discontinued or in very rare limited runs? Either way, tough news for guys that own a rifle that chambers that!

I think I remembered who was looking for it, sent him a PM. I'm gonna lose anyway, the guy owed me more than it could ever be worth, but I didn't want to stress him, he is not doing well so I just said OK.

Me too Bonx....I PM'd him....I deleted my PM's and dumped the texts on my phone, somehow my empty head seems to remember. Of course I just did a search....that helps.

Yup, I agree.....when did u look for his d... in Wintertime?...funny

Actually I forgot I was looking for this ammo some months ago. I tripped on this box......
Plenty of .22 around in Gander, Dicks......premium price. Of all the missing ammo .22 bothers me most. I have A-L-O-T, but I also have three kids who blow through 7500 rounds in a week up in SC. I'll never have enough .22!
