headed up North central MT in two weeks to help build a cabin for a friend. he has two sq miles of sod poodles and I'm the only one who gets to shoot them for free
Last year I got 300+ in two afternoons using a .17HMR H&R sportster. what a pain in the wrist  |

went up there this weekend between "work sessions", in 95-100 degree heat, I shot 300 rounds of .17 HMR in my new Marlin and 120 rounds of .223 trough my old Savage.
With no spotter I'd have to estimate about 40-50% hits, some runs with 5 hits in a row then a couple of misses thats how it goes
Some observations after two seasons of doing this; the noise factor of the .17 HMR vs that of .223 makes a significant difference in "spookieness" the .17 does not bother them nearly as much as the .223. the .17 does kill them out to 200+ yards, and you can see every wound/kill shot, but sometimes you can't see where your miss went, However you miss the "air time" of a centerfire hit  my 2cents |
