I'd love to hear your impressions on the 17 wsm when you get it all set up and get out to shooting it. Interested in that caliber if it gets adopted by the public

I could see this caliber becoming popular for coyote/varmint hunters in states that don't allow you to hunt with a centerfire rifle during, say, archery season. plus it's just flat out sweet  :tup:

rasbo,

I've seen a lot of the 17WSM ammo at the Big R store in Omak, so maybe they have some in Moses Lake. Give them a call if you haven't looked there yet. I've been hoarding and have over a 1,000 rounds waiting....

My local bi mart has been stocking it. They had a case and a half last time I was in there. If you guys get in a pinch and need some let me know and I can check if there is any left.

Can't wait to get some updates. Didn't know about this rifle/round, but after some research, I'm sold.

Yote-

     Dear God,
            Please watch over us and keep us safe from the coyote slayer Rasbo. Let him enjoy his new gun so much that he uses up all his ammo before he sees us. Give us strength to resist the urges of his sweet calls. Amen                 
Take a back road!
