[QUOTE="Creedmoor shooter, post: 1651550, member: 72601"] People like to dis the 17hmr for some of reason. Maybe because they shoot a woodchuck in the butt and expect it to die right there? It's just like anything else, hit them where you are supposed to and its lights out for them. My 17 hmr is my favorite woodchuck rifle out to 250 yards. It's just quiet enough so if you have multiple targets they don't spook and you can keep on shooting. I've shot mine out to 400 yards and hit a rock the size of a golf ball on the second shot so I know this shot is absolutely possible. Ive used the 17 vmax and 20grain game point pretty extensively. I prefer the 20 grain because the penetration is better on those longer shots. Good shooting! [/QUOTE]
