{wiki=.17_Bumble_Bee}
The .17 Bumble Bee is a small-caliber rimfire cartridge, which is known for its high velocity and the use of light bullets. It was developed for varmint hunting and small game shooting. The round is based on a necked-down .22 case to accommodate a .17 caliber bullet, which typically ranges in weight from 20 to 30 grains. The .17 Bumble Bee offers impressive accuracy and flat trajectory, making it effective for shooting small targets at relatively long distances.
