Thread: 17HMR or 22WMR

They both work. My son uses a 17 bolt Savage, deadly accurate and so is he with it. Hares @150 are gonski! Hares @ 200 are usually gonski. He's only a part time shooter, doesnt do the dial thing, or the holdover thing, or know much about wind. But if its in the spotlight its dead. I used a 22 mag for years, pulled off some amazing long shots in pretty atrocious conditions. Ammo has come a long way and the 17 is a fun gun to shoot with. But in the end it all comes down to trigger time, you spend time shooting' shit and you quickly become pretty competent regardless of the boolit.
