.17HMR · July 17, 2007, 03:34 PM

Let me start of by saying that I have never tried handloading/reloading ammo before, but I'm interested in learning about the process and maybe trying it.

I recently got a .17hmr for target/varmint shooting and have been wondering about the possibilities of handloading ammo for it, but since it's rimfire, I was wondering if you can even do that? I know reloading isn't a possibility because of this, but can you buy shells that are already primed and load yourself? If anyone knows whether or not you can do this, or if anyone has done it, please let me know.

Thanks
