[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 758976, member: 1940"] I bought a Savage 17HMR to see if I like the cartridge, and yes I like it very much. Then I sold it and bought another Cooper so I could have 1/2 MOA accuracy in a well built rifle. The Savage would have been fine if it shot well. I have no use for half-assed accuracy. Get a good one the first time and save yourself the frustration of trying to make a cheap rifle shoot well. I would not hesitate to use the HMR for head shots on coons. For the ranges you stated, it will need to be accurate... and I would suggest using the Hornady 20 gr. xtp bullets. They are tough enough to give superior penetration along with good expansion.
