.17 Rem Ammo Prices

Remington built this in 1971 as one of the original tiny screaming varmint rounds and for years it was the fastest thing in the catalog. It throws an extraordinarily light bullet at blistering speed and turns prairie dogs into memories with almost no recoil. Barrels foul fast and it demands a careful shooter but the payoff on a distant varmint is genuine. A specialist's delight.

Loads run around 20 to 25 grain in the scarce offerings that exist. A niche varmint round priced above the common calibers in small boxes. The dedicated varmint crowd and the handloaders keep it alive and buy whenever it appears.
