Drover: I think you miss-spoke (or miss-posted!) - indeed someone blasphamed a wonderful cartridge and I chose to defend against such blasphemy!
Lest someone get the wrong impression after reading such blasphemy.
I did not just randomly choose to give a pep talk on my "favorite cartridge".
And, I would not say I am worked up as much as being in a state of disbelief that someone could have such an unfounded and erroneous opinion regarding one of "my favorite" cartridges.
Again my defense of the 17 HMR was not intended to provide you with winter reading but to prevent anyone from a glaring misconception of what the 17 HMR is fully capable of doing, I know - cause I done it!
I was back to this thread looking for specifics on this "new" Winchester rimfire cartridge - seems there aren't any yet?
