[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 286976, member: 313"] I have been fooling around with different ammo in my 17HMR when I started testing some Federal 17gr A-Max ammo. On a windless morning I sent 4 consecutive rounds down to the 200 yd target. A nice tight .86" group was on the paper at 1.25" high & right. I made a scope adjustment and fired 3 more rounds. All 3 landed inside the orange dot @ a measured 1.09". I am shocked at how accurate that 17 HMR was at 200 yds. I shot several groundhogs at 200yds-250yds. Hits were not difficult but crawlers were common. Since wounding animals (even varmints) bothers me I will limit the use of this rifle to 150yds max unless I'm shooting crows. [/QUOTE]
