[edit] Development
Winchester, in conjunction with Savage, introduced this cartridge at the 2013 SHOT Show. [2]
The brass case for this round is roughly 50% thicker than the 17 HMR, and the max average internal pressure is 33,000 psi, versus the 17 HMR's 26,000 psi. [3]
[edit] Factory ammunition
Currently available is the Winchester Varmint High Velocity Ammunition 17 Winchester Super Magnum in either the 20 & 25 Grain Box of 50. The cartridge at 20 grain = 3000 fps and 25 grain = 2,600 fps.
[edit] Firearms
Currently, rifles firing the 17 WSM are the Savage B-Mag bolt action, Ruger Model 77/17, Winchester 1885 Low Wall single shot, the Volquartsen semi-automatic, H-S Precision Pro Series 2000, and the semi-automatic Franklin Armory F-17. The F-17 is the first gas-operated rimfire firearm, designed to handle the higher pressures of this cartridge. [4]
