[QUOTE="tt35, post: 1826965, member: 25362"] We see literally tens of thousands of rimfire ammo expended each year on sage rats (Beldings Ground Squirrels). The .17 HMR is by far the most popular and it's extremely accurate. It's great ground squirrel medicine especially with the V-max bullets. In the right hands it's capable of 150-175 yard hits in light wind. We do have to be careful about squib loads. I think the manufacturers occasionally miss the powder charge and the primer is enough to dislodge the bullet from the case. The WSM offers a nice bridge between the HMR and the centerfires. The hits are audibly louder and it can go out to 250 yards on calm days. We've witnessed very few misfires with the WSM's and ammo costs are not a lot higher than the HMR. Both are great small varmint cartridges! [/QUOTE]
