Thread: .17 WSM Rimfire

we need to remember that in a lot of countrys, a rim fire is treated diferently to a centerfire, in australia for example a rim fire is 'a' class where centerfire is 'b', they have melted into practly the same thing now but rimfires were ok for junior shooters but you had to be 18 to use a centerfire, for example.
ammo cost and avaiable actions will be the trick, when horneydaze 223 training ammo was costing 70c and 17hmr 60c each, plenty of people just went to the .223. they will want to make sure the ammo is the same as 17hmr and it will go ok otherwise, the 223 will take this out of the equasion.
