It has a maximum effective range of about 440 yd m on prairie dog-sized animals, but the small bullet's poor ballistic coefficients and sectional densities mean it is highly susceptible to crosswinds at such distances. The smaller .172 bullet typically has a much lower ballistic coefficient than other typical varmint calibers, such as that of the .223 Remington. Because of this, the .172 bullet loses velocity slightly sooner and is more sensitive to wind; but by no means does this render the cartridge useless. The tiny entrance wound and usual lack of exit wound on coyote-sized animals make it an ideal round for fur bearing animals from which the hunter intends to collect a pelt. A significant disadvantage is the rapid rate at which such a small-caliber rifle barrel can accumulate gilding metal fouling, which is very detrimental to accuracy and may also eventually result in increasing pressures caused by the fouling's constriction of the bore.Bussard Michael Ammo Encyclopedia 2nd Ed. 2010 Blue Book Publications Minneapolis MN, USA 978-1-936120-01-7 840Johnson Steve Hornady Handbook of Cartridge Reloading 7ed. 2007 Hornady Manufacturing Company Grand Island Nebraska 978 Many .17 Remington shooters have reported optimum accuracy when the bore is cleaned after every 10 - 20 shots,Hodgdon Data Manual No. 26 1993 Hodgdon Publishers Shawnee Mission, KS 792 though more modern metallurgy used in both barrels and bullets has largely mitigated the fouling issue.March 2025 The .17 Remington is also one of the few cartridges in which powder charge weight is often greater than bullet weight. Though this condition has been known to degrade accuracy, the .17 Remington is noted for exceptional accuracy.
