I saw they have a .17 WSM.

What could they possibly have done to make the hmr round better?

Do want. I have a .17hmr and .22 wmr, so I can't justify it, but would like to see it in action.

17 HMR was built with killing in mind. I bet that 17 WSM is a bad s.o.b.

Added bonus is that you will always be able to get ammo for it.

I swear, at the peak of the ammo shortage...there was .17 Ammo available EVERYWHERE!!!!

I bought my 17 HMR the day after Thanksgiving last year. They announced the 17 WSM a month later.

American Rifle magazine had an article on this set up in this months issue. Definitely redefines what a rimfire cartridge can do.

Picking one up at Simmons today sometime. They don't have any ammo for it though. Said they would hold as many boxes as I wanted when they did get it since I was buying the rifle from them.

Our .17 and .204 are the most fun guns we have down at the ranch. The .204 is a varmint killing machine.
