i was told that .17hmr were very accurate in a gun shop in scotland and straight lined 100 yrds with no loss or gain in projectary?unless this was sales is sales pattern i dont know as i thought that as it picked speed up it would rise and slowing down it would lose velocity and drop,but he reckoned not for this was accurat in a line to 100 yrds true !! ive shot my hmr fpr around 4 years and it dose not drop noticebly over 100 yards ie you need no hold over cheers kirky ps hawkeye thanks very interesting read !!!

Perceived maybe, but it's actually better. Prehaps the increased distance we shoot over with the HMR gives the impression of a less slippery bc, but shoot both back to back at 100yds in a full value wind and you'll see the HMR actually bucks the wind better. As for accuracy, 100 yards is a tricky distance, the HMR is definitely an easier and inherantly more accurate caliber at that range but at 60yards or less it can easily be matched and in most cases bettered by a decent .22lr. If most of your likely targets will be between 20 and 70 yards, .22 for sure, if it's more a case of 50-10

good story mate altho sad !! all the best for future outing s

the hmr is easier to shoot as the bullet flys flat and not in an ark like a .22lr the hmr is however afected by wind more than the .22lr but overall i think hmr is harder hitting and more accurate than .22lr my tupence worth !! kirky

i hear what you guys are saying he is was a whatever and will rot in hell but we cant argue about gun laws needing tightened up as this prick slipped the net this said people change, we all do and i think us folk with guns need to go talk to some kind of shrink for an hour or two and have a yarn about life and a cupa tea, about once a year and then this sort off thing might be stopped and then again you just cant stop human nature my thoughts what do you guys think??? thoughts with the familys who lost there loved ones

poacherman its only right to make sure a dog gets a good home and to ask a modest sume of cash often will ensure that the new owner can provide properly for the dog not all people are as good as our selfs or there would be no rspca plonkers in there little vans colin

asking for some money also makes sure the new owner are more l;ikely to the funds to look after the dog as well i strongly agree and its some good advice folks are giving not meant for theowners well being but the dogs colin
