    Well that's why I reckon a little 17 hornet would be choice For most of the property types I shoot on anyway.

    A rifle that's not much bigger than the HMR, with an extra 100m on it. Realistically the range would probably be 250 meters... not much more.

    People say the HMR is a 200m round... but it's not really (the wind effects the little round so much, and in my experience it runs out of punch out that far). People are saying the hornet will be a 300m round... but I am skeptical.

    I may be just trying to justify another firearm purchase... given I have a 17HMR and a 223 I don't need it... but you guys surely understand, if we can find some way to justify buying a gun, no matter how silly, it's a good enough reason
