DigitalDan,crawfish,
Thanks for the response you have put my idle musings on the subject to their final rest. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
"The .17 HMR/Mach 2 bullets have a solid reputation for poor terminal performance as velocity drops down to the 2000 fps range and lower, often failing to open up at all."
Interesting,perhaps they are loading the same projectiles as the .17hmr rather than a lighter constuction designed for the mach2?
I've been thinking of getting one, but I'm not sure if the mach2 offers enough over the .22 to make it worth the extra cost in ammo.
