[QUOTE="DDB TX, post: 3023482, member: 64182"] Awesome varmint cartridge, and a "new" concept for us curmudgeons, like the 25-3000 (which was the first commercial cartridge that hit 3000 fps (with an 85 grain projectile) in around 1900. The .17 WSM was based on the construction-designed concrete nail gun rimfire cartridge, and they put a 17 cal bullet on it . Had one for years and it is loaned out to stepdaughter for coyotes in the chickens duty. (She is a bit "big gun" shy, something we are working on.) LOTS bigger than a .22 mag. Next step up is the .222, .223 etc. My Savage in .17 WSM is a tack driver to the ranges I have sent it to, before my daughter got it.... [/QUOTE]
