Thread: .17hmr thoughts

It took you long enough alright Evan!

It's a handy little round for sure, very capable to 200 yards. My very first rifle i purchased was a Savage Classic in 17hmr, and I shot alot of little fury and feathered things with that. It has been replaced with a T1x now, and that is just so easy to live with, and shoots better than my Savage classic ever did. Two mates also have a T1x in 17hmr and they both shoot primo too.

I run my Pard 008 on my 17hmr now and use it for night time pest control (During the day on the bigger orchards I'll use my 17 Hornet, but I don't want to be searching for spent 17 Hornet cases in the dark, so the 17hmr is ideal for that, and still has some legs.

A 17hmr in experienced hands that knows the trajectory etc, not much gets away inside 200 yards.
