Does anyone make one? I figure it would be a bit more interesting than a .22 at the range. |
| I would love an AR in 17HMR. I was just playing around with an old aluminum mag and the mag from my Savage 93. The Savage 5 rounder will fit inside the AR mag, it just needs something to hold it in place, like being epoxied in. I might try to get my hands on a 20 round mag and another couple savage mags and see what I come up with. It would be pretty kickass to have bigger mags that look like real full bodied AR mags use the same release/latch controls. |

You could definately use .223. If you are planning on keeping any of the squirrel intact HMR to the head is about the biggest I would want to shoot one with. If shooting PD it is good for the closer quieter shots before you start opening up with the center fires. The way I see it HMR is basically a flat shooting small varmint/crow round. You are not going out there and running hundreds of rounds through your upper. So it would be a low seller and spikes was/is wise probably to stay away from it. I would use one to hunt tree squirrels/crow with since the trajectory is flat out to 125 yards and the bullet is really frangible so less likely to get away. You could also use a .223 but a hmr will do it with less noise and still hits hard. I am debating getting an HM2 rifle of some sort but it seems like that caliber is going away. |
