Costs
The tiny .17 caliber jacketed bullet is much more difficult to manufacture than the copper-coated lead .22 LR bullets, and that is reflected in the cost--typically twice that of inexpensive .22 Long Rifle ammunition. The price is still less than any surplus centerfire ammunition, and less than the more powerful .17 HMR. The high priced bullet used in the .17 HM2 does have its advantages including accuracy.

Famous quotes containing the word costs:
“To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitledbecause a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.”

“When over Catholics the ocean rolls,
They must wait several weeks before a mass
Takes off one peck of purgatorial coals,
Because, till people know whats come to pass,
They wont lay out their money on the dead
It costs three francs for every mass thats said.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (17881824)
