That's what I was wondering. I'm looking for something for small game in Alaska with a range longer than a .22LR but nothing that will evaporate the meat.
17 is not bad AT ALL on meat. shoot the right ammo. Shoot the 20grain hollow point. dont shoot those 17 grain ballisc tips when you hunt "unless you like the carnage"

Oh yeah? That coming from a guy who drives this...
(sorry, I just HAD to work that in at least one more time!)
I'm told by locals up there that most of the small game in Alaska could easily be taken with a .22LR IF you can get close enough to them. There's also the issue of wind, which apparently the .17 WSM handles like a boss. If the ammo is cheaper than other .17 calibers and .22 Mag, then this new .17 WSM may fill an actual need.
