Re: .17HMR
Anyone else having problems finding 17 shells? I was going to order a brick from midway until I saw the postage and insurance fees. I'll just wait it out and snag a few boxes here and there when I find it.

Cabelas has Hornady for 13.99, which I refuse to pay. 11.99 is the max I'll pay because that about equals the shipping price from Midsouth when they are on sale.

Re: .17HMR
For spring prairie dog pup shooting when there are a lot of targets within 150 yards a accurate rifle chambered for the 17 HMR is the rifle to have. I can hit them at longer ranges with my Cooper 57 M LVT rifle but I like it when the bullet still has the velocity to open up, better splatter factor. Im a 17 caliber fan and have a 17 HM2 rifle for the shorter shots and a 17 Hornet, 17 Fireball, 17 Rem, and a 204 Ruger for shots beyond 150 yards. If I could have only one varmint rifle it would the a 204 Ruger. But for shooting prairie dogs I like the low muzzle blast and recoil of the 17 caliber rim fire and center fire rifles.
