Market Acceptance
The .17 HMR was an instant success when it came out, but the .17 HM2 hasn't been out long enough for its success to be judged. Part of the .17 HMR's success may have been due simply to the uniqueness of the first mass manufactured .17 caliber rimfire (.17 Aguila was first, but never mass manufactured), an advantage the .17 HM2 doesn't have. However, the .22 Long Rifle outsells the .22 WMR by a huge margin, and if the .17 HM2 can build on that success, it has the potential to go far.

“Our acceptance of an ontology is, I think, similar in principle to our acceptance of a scientific theory, say a system of physics; we adopt, at least insofar as we are reasonable, the simplest conceptual scheme into which the disordered fragments of raw experience can be fitted and arranged.”
