The .17 PMC/Aguila, also known as the .17 High Standard, is a rimfire cartridge formed by necking down the .22 Long Rifle casing to accept a .172" diameter bullet. This cartridge was developed in 2003 by firearms maker High Standard and ammunition maker Aguila Ammunition and was introduced in 2004. The introduction was ill-timed, however, coming in the middle of the introduction of two major new .17 rimfire cartridges from Hornady, which were the .17 HMR in 2002 and the .17 HM2 in 2004, which dominated the .17 caliber rimfire market in the early 21st century.

The .17 PMC/Aguila can be shot in a rifle that is chambered for .17 HM2, but not the other way around.
