frizzellr,
Its only money you cant take it with you when your gone.Ill try it out,I like trying out new things like this.Im sure i have a gun or two in the cabnet that I dont need.And if it fails like Rem.5mm Ill set it on the self and just look at it.If noone gives new rounds a chance then they deffinately wont do well.And we've lost a lot of good rounds that way.

there are 15gr bullets you can get to hand load the .17's but agian the wind will push them hard. Also I see no real gain in .17HMR and at 12.00-16.00 thats price for rimfire ammo you cant reload. also if they want a high priced rim fire why can't they just bring back the 5mm rem mag its fast flat shooting and fights the wind better than the .17

17 grains of bullet is pretty small, and I know my cleaning rod won't work in the thing. I hunt outside where the wind blows, so I'm not sure that it'll work better than my .22 mag, and I know it'll cost more to shoot. I think the .17 HRM main advantage will be indoors, on small in-edible targets, with the shooter sitting on a fat wallet, and who is very nostalgic about the 5mm Remington Magnum.
