pegandgun 51 Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 My mates just bought a .17hmr and wanted to try it out.A farmer i know has been having trouble with hares so i took this opportunity to thin a few out.He shot the hares between 50 & 150yds.I was well impressed with this little gun,very accurate and very quick. He shot a couple of long range rabbits with it,it done the job but i thought it was abit too much.As far as i have seen its the perfect hare cartridge,killing them on the spot Quote Link to post
