Very few rifles are available in 17 WSM. The Savage B. I have both and have used both extensively in its respective departments. My hmr isnt fur friendly on squirrels it flat opens them up, it would be a good gun for fox though. Quote: one fox ran about yards,the rest dropped within And I will be willing to bet all would have dropped on the spot if the 17 Rem was used with the same shot placement.
I do not base my answer on collective internet readings. My answer is based on what I have seen the 17 rem do to several hundred coyotes and what I see the 17 HMR do to Jackrabbits, PD's, coons, skunks and opposums. Personnally I will never use one of my17 HMR's on coyotes.
Long before the 17 HMR was invented, I got past the point of seeing just how insufficient of a round I could use to take animals with. So ballistically the rem is better. I guess I need to go to Rems website and investigate. I had never heard of the 17rem before. Thanks for the quick responses guys.
The 17 rem is a center fire round. It will spit out a 25 grain bullet at excessive speed of FPS. It will drop coyotes out to the yard barrier with monotonous regularity. Unless you get a raking shot, you will be hard pressed to find blood on the fur when you go to pick him up at the spot he was standing when you touched the trigger.
Has the 17 ever failed me? Sure on occassion I have a runner or worse a splash. I have tried them all except the HMR on coyotes. Really, besides the diameter of the bullets they are night and day. The 17 Hummer with a 20 grain bullet is managing less than ft lbs of energy at yards.
About the same power as a 22lr out the barrel. Now then- the 17 Remington with its 25 grain bullet is kicking some serious azz here! I have personaly killed prairie dogs with my 17 HMR and my 17 Rem.
And yes, the 17 HRM kills a pasture poodle stone dead at yard no problem. But so did my 17 Remington at yards- albeit they are harded to hit at this range. Anyway, I think everyone should own both, but they both certainly dont have the same uses for everything. If I was to get rid of one it would be that Hummer. It is fun, but dang! Is it ignorance or apathy? So who makes a good rifle in the rem?
I would like a savage with the accutrigger if they make it. If not I assume Remington makes one. Might also consider scratching that itch with a. A lighter faster bullet than your But the 39 and 40gr bullets have great B. I love mine for coyotes. Savage makes a great one called the Predator Hunter. Already camo'ed, sports a mid weight barrel to give great accuracy without being so heavy as a bull barrel.
Here's a pic'. As you can see it has the accutrigger. I hear they shoot sub MOA with the right load. Good luck with that itch! I don't own a. I do own a.
