[QUOTE="d11r529, post: 1268440, member: 26177"] I have both the 17 hmr and the 17 wsm and both are the Ruger 77/17. I like them both but the wsm is the clear winner in a prairie dog town, the hmr is good to about 200 yards with a few prairie dogs around taken around 250 yards. With the wsm 300 yard shots are common and will stretch it out to 375 yards if conditions are right. I had trouble with both rifles with flyers until I free floated the barrels and did trigger work to get them down to 2 1/2 pounds, both have Leupold 4.5-14X-40 scopes and both will shoot under an inch at 100 yards if I do my part. I've yet to get a shot at a coyote with the wsm but have shot (had it first and longer) 6 or 7 with the hmr, haven't lost one but haven't killed one with one shot yet either. I find myself reaching for the wsm first and almost have to talk myself into taking the hmr. [/QUOTE]
