.17 HMR Semi auto

[knightrider]

Me too. The 17 hmr is accurate but no where near as deadly as a 22 mag. If you are shooting targets go with the 17 hmr. If you intend to hunt with it go with the 22 mag.

17 hmr with 20 grain xtp will kill anything a 22 mag ever hoped to

I have a Savage boat action bull barrel. It is an absolute tack driver.

I have the same gun in 22 mag

17 hmr 20 grain xtp vs 22 mag federal 50 grain hollow point. I think we will have to agree to disagree.

A 20 grain xtp will make mush of anythings brain that you should be shooting with a rimfire with in 100 yards

The thing is Some may like a 22 mag for things they shouldn't be shooting with a rimfire.

The all black one synthetic stock. Its a tack driver. I shoot 20 gr xtp ammo. I have shot a few coyotes with it running my traps. Great armadillo gun makes a big hole. I just grab my 22 mag rifle. Plus i keep my TV venture 204 ruger. In my truck at all times. I shoot hogs with it.

If I wanted to hunt late season no leaves on property that's been hunted I would take the 17HMR , 100y without a problem, my 22 mag is a flat out shooter but easier for me with the 17 due to flatter shooting. while the mag does have more energy that's not always what's needed imo.

17 wsm will do the job

I won a NWTF edition Ruger Precision Rifle in .17 HMR a couple years ago and finally got around to shooting it yesterday. I topped it with an older Leupold 3-9x compact. I was shooting Federal Premium ammo with 17g v-max polymer tips. The target below is the final 3 shot group at 90 yds.
Guess I'll try it on a yote and see what it will do. My targets won't be too far away typically.

Sweet!!

I have the black synthetic stock savage .17 hmr. I have enjoyed shooting it and killed lots of armadillos. Super accurate and fun to shoot. It did begin to jam but I haven't cleaned it after firing 50 rounds.
