a16wcw 0 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 hello all just thought I would show you the damage the winchester 17 grain bullet does to rooks at 90 yards. I have only had the rifle a few weeks after upgrading from .22. I am very impressed with it and with winchester ammo. I did buy 500 hundred horandy blue tips when i got the rifle but just cant get on with them I have also found a couple of the blue tips intact in hares that I have shot. Has any one else found this? I also couldnt get on very well zeroing the hornandy but could get the remy,winchester and the fedral all to shoot within a 2 inch target at 100yds of the bales but not in arest. has one found this? Many Thanks, Adam Quote Link to post

Many Thanks, Adam Stand that man up and shoot him The .22 is the perfect tool for many situations, the .17hmr is just a different tool for different situs. Not better or worse. I do agree though that the corvids haven't quite clicked on to the effective range of the hmr yet Quote Link to post
