How do you feel about the .17HMR

The .17HMR is a fun gun to shoot and is very accurate and flat shooting, but I would much rather shoot my .22LR. My friends and I went out shooting ground squirrels and my buddy brought his .17HMR and the rest of us had .22LR. Let's just say that by the end of the day he was shooting my .22LR because for the same price, I had about four times the ammo.

If you're saying you hate them you must not have shot one very much. I use mine for calling coons and it will work for coyotes in a pinch. If you hit a coon close to the head it will be dead which is important for what I use it for. .22 lr are a lot cheaper but they don't have the punch of a .17 HMR. And I paid the same amount for my .17 as I did a 10/22 so I wouldn't say they are expensive.

I personally don't care for the round as it is more pricy to shoot than a .22 LR and I have reloaded for and shot .17 Remingtons for almost 3 decades. I love those little 25 grainers at 4 grand for p-dawgs. Nevertheless lots of folks in Wyoming have enjoy the .17 HMR. The local guns stores have told me that sells of guns and ammo continue to be good plus the storeowners like them. You would need to buy a .17 cleaning kit and pay more for ammo so if this is acceptable I guess it is worth a try just be have another gun.
