I ordered a couple boxes 17 hmr from a company on ammoseek yesterday and with shipping/tax I am ashamed to tell how much I paid. Ammo is out there if you want to pay plenty.I love the .17 hmr I have shot and killed coyotes ... bobcats fox squirrels ... I don't recommend it on coyotes but it can be done... I must say it would be my favorite small caliber rifle if bullets were cheaper.
I remember paying 11.00 for 50 of the hornady ammo now its 15.00I ordered a couple boxes 17 hmr from a company on ammoseek yesterday and with shipping/tax I am ashamed to tell how much I paid. Ammo is out there if you want to pay plenty.

Naw that's about right. It's more than good enough to shoot pigeons and stuff. We were probably about that 75yd range also.Hmm. Maybe a production flaw. I have a Marlin 22mag. I shoot pigeons off the top of the 65ft silo. Not sure what that distance equates to. I've smoked prairie dogs at around that 70yd mark. But like I said earlier. Accuracy is all relative. If I hit a prairie dog in the upper body or the eye it probably won't make any difference to the prairie dog.
The only reason I have mine so accurate is that we use it when we butcher fat lambs. I know it's over kill, but I don't have a 22lr that I am confident in to accurately one 'n done a lamb at 30yds.
