Yeah, when we had a fundamental change from cap and ball to cartridges. It took a while to settle on the good supported ones.Your old standards were all new fads at one time. I'm sure plenty old timers were saying "I'll stick my trusty old cap and ball thank you."
I guess what I see is an effort to make a fundamental change from lead rimfire to lead-free. It might not gain traction. I know I'm not jumping in, but I guess I see value in trying. Some stuff sticks, some doesn't.Yeah, when we had a fundamental change from cap and ball to cartridges. It took a while to settle on the good supported ones.
That was the .17 H2.......just never went anywhere, like into peoples safes or homes. I see the 21 sharp catching on in the greenie states that prohibit lead bullets, but not sure about the rest of us...but then again the first time I saw a CD, I said "No one will want to give up their cassettes"When the 17 HMR came out, it was to rival the 22 mag and it still exists.
Then it's little brother came out, same oal as the 22 LR. What was it called? and where is it now?
17 Hornady Mach II. I have three rifles and a few cases of the ammo. Absolutely best squirrel cartridge out to 75 yds. Makes eyeballs bulge and brain pans empty.When the 17 HMR came out, it was to rival the 22 mag and it still exists.

357 Sig, We load and shoot it.I thought it was much like the .45Gap, more or less obsolete.
We shoot M2, I bought my thing 2 a stainless fat barrel Chipmonk as his first rifle in 17M2. I did the same years ago with stocking ammo for it.The 17 HM2 (Mach 2) is a neat little round with a 17 grain projectile at 2000 FPS, accurately. Great little squirrel getter out to 75 and 100 yards. I wish it had gained more popularity so that we'd have more ammo options today, but I have it in four different rifle brands and several thousand rounds to last me probably my lifetime.
The CZ rifle below shoots five rounds into .375" groups at 70 yards, consistently.
That said, I don't see myself investing into the new 21 Sharp 22 hotness.
