villaman 9,979 Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 What would you zero 17 HMR in and what ammo would be best or is it what suits your barrel ? Quote Link to post
Stavross 13,709 Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Both of mine are zeroed at about 100 yards, as it’s a flat flying round I’ve found that anything you are shooting at between 50 and 150 yards just put the cross hairs on it and pull the trigger, as for ammo the most common and easy to get hold of are honrnady v max 17 grain, I’ve also used Winchester varmint hv 17 grain, I’ve not noticed any difference between anything I’ve put through them 3 Quote Link to post
Gav 1,708 Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 As above but I do like the federal 17gr ballastic tip, the grouping for my t-bolt is a lot tighter, or I might have just convinced myself of that 1 Quote Link to post

Deker 3,450 Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 100 yards works for me, 17g Hornady V-Max. 3 Quote Link to post
David.evans 5,323 Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 As said Mitch 100 yards and v max enjoy mate Dave 2 Quote Link to post
Rimfireboy! 1,463 Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Another for 100 yards. I haven’t noticed much difference in accuracy with different rounds but if anything, the 20 grain CCI’s possibly have the edge. All minute of mouse, no problem. 1 1 Quote Link to post

Alsone 789 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) There's actually quite a few photos of Giant Rats if you search. Reportedly London is having an issue with super giant mice. Maybe it's time to break out the CF's: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/giant-rat-found-in-london-gas-engineer-finds-rodent-bigger-than-a-small-child-a6925591.html Edited December 19, 2018 by Alsone 2 Quote Link to post
