.17 Caliber Ruger
 

Has anyone else shot one of these yet? My brother-in-law bought one and we shot it a few days ago. The shell casing is a necked down .22 magnum and the bullet is a 17 grain ballistic tip. Muzzle velocity is around 2600 if I remember right. The round looks like a miniature high powered round. Cute as a button. :D

At any rate, this is a neat little rifle. After sighting it in, we filled some beer cans full of water and they absolutely blew up on impact. It should make an awesome squirrel gun.

Ive got the Marlin 17vs, these lil .17 hmrs are an absolute blast to take to the range. Im seein ruger 10/22 mags converted into 10/17hmr' s, pretty sweet looking.

They are fun to shoot aren' t they? It' s like having a high powered rifle with absolutely no kick. I' ve been thinking about getting a .22 magnum, but I might have to switch up and get one of these.

Ive got a 270 wsm to break in tommarow so im gonna bring the .17 hmr and a box of cci hollow point .17 hmr ammo i purchased today and shoot a few frozen milk jugs and see how its performs, ill post pictures[8D]

Do that Treedog, I' d love to see what is does to them. Give me a report on the accuracy of those hollow points too. I always found HP bullets to be the most accurate out there, but haven' t shot them in this caliber yet. They should really pack a whollop also.

Rain,Rain, and more rain. Perhaps i can make it sometime this weekend. Ive read how some people like the cci ammo. They say it holds together better than the vmax bullet the hornady and rem loads use. Some say it groups better in there rifles and some say it opens up a bit. Guess ill have to shoot a box and see how my gun likes them whenever the weather permits.
