[QUOTE="101stCurrahee, post: 1925298, member: 111731"] Getting into varmint hunting. Rabbits, squirrels, and badgers. I’ve been using a cheap 10/22, and got one badger at 30 yards with it. From what I’ve been reading most people use a .223 for badger?! I am mostly after pelts, and meat from the rabbits. I don’t want it ruined. I keep missing my targets passed 50 yards. It’s always pretty windy here. Is a 17HMR going to fill the gap so I can shoot rabbits further and put down badgers quicker? Or is it going to ruin my pelts and meat. should I stick to a .223 for badgers, or will that mess up the pelts too? [/QUOTE]
