  Hi and welcome...
  
  I didn`t find anything either for high standard, but I did find this on the .17hmr....The 17 HMR (Hornady Magnum Rimfire) ammo has a 17 gr. hollow point (filled with polycarbonate) boat tail bullet with a 0.172" diameter and delivers a muzzle velocity of about 2550 fps (depending on the barrel length). There is 5.4 gr of what looks like Lil' Gun powder. The muzzle energy is 245 ft-lb and with a 1-10" twist, the bullet is spinning at 183,500 rpm. A typical 22 Long Rifle cartridge has a bullet weight of 40 gr. or more than twice the mass of the 17 HMR. I got my ammo, at $7.69/box of 50, from Midsouth Shooters Supply. It took a few weeks for delivery. They are taking orders for the new 17 HMR ammo.
  
  I saw that Remington,Horndy,and CCI make it...Hope this helps...

  Guys here is what I have heard from the CCI rep..... He says that the problem with the 17hrm ammo is that it is so light that it will not drop properly into the plastic boxes that they come in so the ammo is partially packed by hand .Until they figure out how to over come the packageing problems, the supply will be slow coming!!
  CCI make the ammo for Hornady.
