What weight bullet and fps is this calibrated for

Expert Answer

Answered by Jonathan D., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on July 01, 2019

Hawke does not provide the weight of the bullets these scopes are calibrated for. They do state the 17HMR scope is calibrated for a bullet with a 0.1251 ballistic coefficient with a muzzle velocity of 2550 ft/s and the 22WMR model is calibrated for a bullet with a 0.1369 ballistic coefficient with a muzzle velocity of 2000 ft/s.

Medium height rings should be an ideal fitment. We'd suggest our Match Mount rings, model #22113
