I thought that I would post a picture of the 17m2 with the stablemates that it strangled in their infancy if not in utero, the 17 PMC and the 17 Aguila. These are from my rimfire collection. Has/does anyone here shoot these cartridges? I always wondered if either of them would have been a better small game meat getter than the 17m2. 20-grain solid bullets at 1850fps seem about ideal for meat preservation.

What?! Never heard of that one. Now I have to find a box!
I was just discussing these with a friend a couple of hours ago.
I was considering purchasing a couple of barrels back in the day (one for a handgun, one for a rifle), but there was stories similar to the 5.56/.223 interchangeability, with some claiming you could shoot this in that, but not that in this, yadda yadda. I wanted interchangeability if one cartridge rose as the “standard”. Never did make that jump
Having never seen any outside the box, any drawings or specs, I was never really sure they weren't all the same.
And now of course I must post the long ago stolen and forgotten from where web pic.
22, 20 ,17, 10, 9, 8 or 7 ??? (it's been 17 years lol)

Cas6969, nice pic. That looks like something off the small caliber forums.

Probably. It's been on my photo host since 2005, probably saved it before that. I used to poke around there a bit when I started shooting .17 Ackley Bee, which was around that time.
Searching the web... .17 HS seems to be the same a the Aguila.... which may have been what I was remembering, and what you probably know by now.
