Back when I was going Pdoggin every couple of years, I shot the HMR quite a bit, but there's just not that much call for it here in Kentucky.
I didn't find much use for a 17HMR here in NY either. I bought one when they first came out and sold it a couple years later. It was good for crows and that's about it. .22LR lots cheaper for target/plinking and better for tree squirrels, grouse and rabbits. Bigger varmints handled better with .22 Mag. or 223. I don't ever plan on owning another 17 HMR.
