rjencks Campfire Regular Joined: Dec 2013 Posts: 601 New England	Originally Posted by Dude270 I'd like to see Ruger put it in the RAR rim fire. I like the idea of the round, especially with it priced about the same as the HMR. I don't like the B mag and Ruger's 77/17 is a bit pricy for me. +1 and then make it a lefty! http://www.shootingtables.com/

The round seems pretty adept at turning small and medium varmints to goo.

Coyotes are becoming far more numerous in the East, and there was a perceived need for a more powerful, longer-ranged rimfire than the .22 Magnum. Yep. Down here in the south it's similar regs on public land so a higher powered rimfire is appealing. Thinking about getting a 12" 17 wsm barrel for a Contender sometime soon.
