    i have a .17hmr and .223, the .17 is good out to 250yds for magpies, but the HAS to be NO wind. I haven't really used the .223 out past 300 meters but it definitely handles the wind better than the .17, but on the other hand ammo is a lot more expensive.

    How is that working out for you living in Wellington ?

    What is a realistic distance with the 17hmr for the 99.99 % of the time that the wind is pumping ?
