17Hmr Zeroing Distance?

[ferreting lad 2]

What distances are youz guys zeroing your 17hmrs at? Inch high at 100yards?

[shropshire dan 467]

Dead on at 100yards mate. That gives me .2 inch high at 50yards and 2.5 inch drop at 150yards. I've always found this perfect for me just point and shoot from 25-125 yards.

 

1 inch high at 100yards will give you a 125 yard zero roughly and only 1.5 inch drop at 150yards

I zero at 60yds which gives me a second zero at 100yrds

Bin it and get a .22 hornet.

[shropshire dan 467]

Its faster and flatter than a .22 hornet isn't it?

[slipper 116]

dont think so maybe flatter but velocity wise the hornet can make 2900 fps with 35grn tips whilst the hmr is obviously slower being a rimmy with 2500 ish, may be wrong its just what my hornady book says atb, got your 223 yet dan?

Watch ".22LR, .22WMR, .17HMR, .22 hornet comparison - BU" on YouTube

.22LR, .22WMR, .17HMR, .22 hornet comparison - BU:

 

Only the K Hornet is faster than a hmr according to this. Not yet Chris should be end of july cant wait though

[ferreting lad 2]

no need for a 22 hornet mate. have a 223 for anything bigger and further out. cheers guys il let it zeroed at 100

.17 hmr = 245ft lbs energy @ muzzle

 

.22 hornet= 750ft lbs energy @ muzzle..

if reloaded can get to 850ft lbs..

 

No comparison !!

[shropshire dan 467]

Its like comparing a .22 hornet to a .243

 

No comparison!!

Everyone should bin the HMR and by a .458 Winchester IMO

[shropshire dan 467]

Nah at least a .470 nitro lol

[SportingShooter 0]

Nah at least a .470 nitro lol

 

The .458 has 300 ft/lbs more than a .470 NE...which is more than a HMR has at the muzzle

 

Should stop hijacking this thread now

[bobjs 28]

zero at 35 yards bullet on bullet and your flat to 125 yards.

 

or as most would say sell it and buy a 50 cal it hits harder.

 

the 17 hmr has a slot in my cabinet coz its good at what i need it to do, end of.
