I haven't seen any 17HM2 ammo in either retail or wholesale outlets for quite some time and was wondering what the 24HCF cognoscenti think.

I'm a big 17HM2 fan, believing that it is probably the best tree squirrel round ever created, but it never got much love from the hunting universe and seems to have, for the most part, died on the vine.

Is it dead?

Is it dying, without much hope for the future?

Is it holding on for a literary hero to champion its comeback as a previously unrecognized, but now rediscovered, gem?
