OK, so what is a long shot with a .17 hmr?  I could go with the .243 or .300, but the .17 is so much fun.

Depends on the wind. Anything more than 5 mph and I'd be impressed with a 50 yard shot! :chuckle: Anything past 200 yards with any rimfire is pretty good in my book.

OK, that's good to know.  I shoot it out to 300 all the time. I could probably do milk jugs at 400 but not sure it'd have enough to even penetrate at the distance, lol

This will be fun. Tagging along so I remember to take videos and share.

We have bullet drop figured out for a .32 win at 562 yards!  Ask any getsum crew and they know!!  Ha ha cause we had alot of laughs!! 


That's the kind thing I want to see! I have more fun walking shots in at random ranges than anything else.

On a side note, does anyone else get nervous when half the forum mods tag in on a thread? It kind of feels like having a state trooper cruising behind you on the freeway. You know you're  all legal, but you still keep checking your mirrors.  :chuckle:


Nothing to see here. Moving along.

The travel time on that shot is impressive.
