[QUOTE="VarmintGuy, post: 472938, member: 10334"] 7mmSendaro: My extensive experience with the 17 HMR (starting in early 2,003 and continuing to this day) is EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of your "buddies"! I have killed several Raccoons with my 17 HMR and exactly NONE of them took more than one shot to kill and most were much further than "up in a tree" distance! I am also on about my 20th Badger killed with the 17 HMR and exactly NONE of them took more than one shot! I have also killed 3 Coyotes to date with my 17 HMR's and again exactly NONE of them took more than one shot! I have also killed many Rock Chucks and several Porcupines with my 17 HMR's to date. I fire at least 1,000 rounds a year at small game and Varmints with my 17 HMR's (mostly Ground Squirrels, Jack Rabbits, Rock Chucks and Prairie Dogs) and I know for a fact that the lethality of the 17 HMR is far superior to that of the 22 L.R. on any type of small game or Varmint! For reference/background - I began Hunting Varmints with a 22 L.R. back in 1957! The 22 L.R. and the 17 HMR are not even in the same ball park when it comes to lethality, the 17 HMR is so much better! Do not underestimate the lethality of a 17 HMR on Varmints and small game - ESPECIALLY when the bullet is placed with care into a vital zone! In additon to the previously mentioned game and Varmints I have taken with the 17 HMR I have also harvested Fox, Wild Turkey, Snowshoe Hare, Weasel, feral cats, Skunks and several varieties of flying vermin. Used within its limitations (as with ANY cartridge) the 17 HMR is an excellent small game, predator and Varmint cartridge. Long live the 17 HMR! Hold into the wind VarmintGuy [/QUOTE]
