Not sure the gay and AIDS joke flies. But I was in SD with my dad as he was on his last hunting trip due to health issues; I will never forget the look on his face shooting prairie dogs out the window of the truck with a .17 HMR. He was having a ball! Possibly the best memory I have.

Suppressed 17 fireball has less recoil than a non suppressed hmr. But true 250 yard capability and then some. With hmr being priced what it is I can shoot fireball for not that much more. The hmr has been gathering dust

Oh go lay down.

Some magic piece of shìt on the end of your barrel magically reduces the powder charge by 80 percent?

I don't know Jim...

I do that sort of stuff.. and yeah, I have a couple of 17HMRs....

I don't need to load it to full power to be able to enjoy it...

just wish I had more primers than I do after a 27 gallon container from Costco, was full of boxes of primers and got stolen out of my home..

along with about 50 pounds of powder also...

so now I am shooting on the cheap, to make it thru the Biden Administration....

I think a 17 ccm on a martini action would be cool.

Always thought the 17 Hornet was an ideal varmint cartridge. Nice collection of 17's.

Thanks for sharing.
