My last 17 HMR video went viral and P.E.T.A. made sure to let me know how they felt about that.
In this video, I'm using my 17 HMR and my new camera. I tried many different shots like, Short range shooting by hiding in the trees. Long shots out past 200 yards. Shooting sticks ( shaky ) shooting off hand -
- ( very shaky ) but most shots were from a bench. Just working the bolt would shake the camera. The second day a storm was moving in, so the wind was extremely bad and everyone can see how the wind effects that light weight bullet.
As I got the feel for where I was hitting, I tried to take head shots. But hitting a chuck at 200 yards is a challenge, then add in a breeze or wind and the light weight 17 makes hunting a "real" challenge.
A rim fire makes for a rough hunt. I hope you like this video and can see how your 17 would work at range and in the wind.
If you are offended by a chuck running 20 feet before he falls over giving a tail flag salute, then don't watch.
My .20 Vartarg can flip a chuck 10 inches into the air, but this 17 HMR can't hit as hard.
