Obviously your question has been answered. I only want to add that the 17HMR performs better in bolt action rifles than in Automatics. There is a issue with the 17HMR crimping in the semi-automatics. The 17 Mach 2 rounds being shorter have the advantage and work very well in semi-automatic.
Performance of the ammo does vary somewhat and depends on your purpose for the round as to which HMR vs Mach2 is right for you.

The .17 HMR cartridge is a .17 caliber bullet in a necked down .22 WMR case. The .17 HM2 ( Mach 2) is the .17 caliber bullet in a necked down .22 Long Rifle case.

A 17 HMR is a 22 mag necked down to a 17cal bullet. A 17 Mach2 is a 22 long rifle necked down to a 17 cal bullet. The HMR is a lot faster About 2500 fps.

The 17 HMR is based off of a 22 HMR cartridge which has been necked down to the 17 caliber. The 17 HM2 (aka Mach 2) is shorter and is based off of the 22 LR cartridge. The 17 HMR has a higher muzzle velocity than the 17 HM2. These cartridges are not interchangeable and must only be fired from a gun designed to shoot either cartridge.

Do not use .17 HMR ammo in any firearm chambered for the .22 WMR cartridge. The .17 HMR is based on the necked down .22 WMR case, but they are not interchangeable at all. Hornady now makes .22 WMR ammo using the XTP design.
