[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1268451, member: 2736"] No doubt the WSM is faster, (20 grain bullet @ 3,000 ft/sec as opposed to 2550 with a 17 grain bullet in the HMR. So It depends on what you want to use it for. For 300+yard shots I like the 17 hornet for 3515 ft/sec with a 20 Grain bullet. and 3000 ft/sec with a 30 grain bullet. All 17 calibers have a problem with wind and should be limited to the shorter ranges unless conditions are perfect. I really enjoy my 17s but they have there limits. There will always be something faster, so the poster has to decide what and how far he wants to shoot and go from there. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
