Colton, it is designed for 22 Rimfire Handguns/Rifles. The 22 rimfire bullet is blount, heavier and slower. Yhe 17hmr is pointy, lighter but way faster and would likely create small dings. Speed does make a difference. I would see what Birchwood Customer Service has to say at Toll-Free: 877-269-8490 or by online inquiry here : https://www.birchwoodcasey.com/content/contact
Hmm...I wouldn't recommend it. The 17 HMR is a laser beam of a little round. It's so much faster than a 22lr. I think it will pit your target if it doesn't go through it. Maybe you can shoot at it at a long distance, but I would just buy another target. Maybe some AR500 steel. It was my pleasure to assist you. Mamba out.
