One thing I was shown to zero a rifle using less ammo is to fire a shot, then keep looking through the scope while keep it on your point of aim and move the dials until the cross hairs move to where the bullet hit. Can save some time and some ammo.
I had a bore laser and it was terrible. It would make a 2 foot circle pattern at 30 yards if you spun the casing in the chamber. If i have a bolt action I'll bore sight to get it on paper.
I have the savage A17 hmr. I love it, it is my favorite gun to shoot. I can cut holes at 100 yards with it. The furthest I've ever shot with it was 400yards. I held about 12 inches high. I had confirmation with 2 witnesses too. I wouldn't have believed it myself. Good video
Watching you dial those turrets like it was a 1968 radio dial was entertaining! Learning a little basic math will save you some ammo while sighting in. Nice shooting!
Can absolutely attest that the .17HMR is deadly out to 250 yards. Did some prairie dog hunting out in North Dakota and it was devastating! Love the videos!
I know a guy that prairie dog hunts with a 17HMR. Him and his son make a game of it and call the shot like you would in pool. Which eye, ear, noise, you get the picture.
It'll hamburger the brain on a whitetail too. Hit a buck with 30.06 and go find him, hit him in the brain with the .17hmr and there's no need to find anything.
My wife has a Savage 17hmr with a bull barrel and a sweet 17 scope and accue trigger sighted in @ 100 yds. My 10/22 carbine (for this game) sighted in @ 100 yds. We each hit a clay pigeon on the 100 yrd berm, then you have to hit every fragment till you can't see any more. She can hit 1/4" fragments consistently with that thing. We giggle like little kids and talk smack at each other.
I built A 17HMR when they came out years ago many years, about 30 years ago 17 HMR came out with one & know one was interested then about 5 years later they came out with them. I have many confirmed kills out to 342 yards. SEMPER - FI
That's impressive sir! I shoot only 17HMR and I shoot 3 times a week at 100 yards. I shoot 5 shot groups and can cover all 5 shots with a dime. I've never lost an accuracy contest at 100 yards with even competitive bench rest shooters but I practice a lot! I mean a lot!
The potato inauguration one hour into it, only had over 100k views after 6 hours the video only had 290k views, that my friend should tell you everything.
Marlin sweet 17 here. 5 shots inside a quarter at 100yd and a crow at 275yd no kidding! Love this gun. Makes varmints look like popcorn! Great videos fella keep them coming! 👍🏻
I shot a couple myself, same gun but without the pressed checkering. Worked very well until I took a questionable shot. It was terrible and took me nearly 2 minutes to get to the Yote and dispatch it humanely. I’m back to the 5.56 or my brother-in-law’s .22-250.
@@MrProfchaos71 I have a .22 mag and prefer it over .17. The 17 shoots flatter and is a bit faster, but the 22 mag bullet is twice as heavy and does a lot more damage. Both lose a lot of zip past 125 yards and when it’s windy, the 17 drifts much more than the 22mag. I’ve shot both for years. Just my .02 cents!
I almost picked up a Tika .17 HMR a couple months ago, because the ammo was widely available at the time. Decided investing in air guns might be a better way to go. About a week later, all the .17 HMR ammo was sold out. My Hatsan Sortie PCP in .177, no problem getting pellets, and filling its reservoir with a hand pump is free.
Depending on how high the scope is mounted. "Close up" the bullet will impact about the distance of center of bore to center of scope low. Since it was dead on approximately at 10 yards. It it would be somewhat high at a longer distance.
One shot, move from point of aim to point of impact. Knew this seventy years ago. Only problem after that is barrel heat, wind, ammo inconsistency, rifle fouling and most of all how good is the shooter.
Nice shooting WTW. Never owned a .17HMR but have shot one many years ago. Awesome on the bunnies and very accurate. I bet you're proud of that group you shot without even really trying. Keep on doing what you do! Love all your vids. Whoooooo teeeeee whoooooo!
I have been shooting the 17HMR for about 15 years I enjoy shooting out at 2:50 yd makes it a little bit more challenging but it is extremely accurate and extremely devastating to small game
17HMR is one of my go to rifles. I appreciate all the great videos you have been putting out. Keep them coming! I would love to see a hunt with the 350 legend.
I love my Ruger American 17. I've taken truck loads of rabbits, many crows, and a coyote with it! Super awesome little cartridge! Thank you for the videos!
17hmr is great at 100 yards. We have been holding long range shoots for rimfires at our club the last year out to 300 meters on steel, you would be surprised just how good it can be.
Picked up a Marlin 17VS and Buckmasters 6-18x40 BDC scope in 2006. Broke it in carefully, and with a good bench-rest I get 5 shots well inside a dime at 100 yards. Love that flat-shooting little beast.
Great review (and yes I am a Nerd). The great thing about the 17HM is that it will hit at the same point at 50 yards as it will at 100 yards. Just hold dead straight. Thanks for sharing!
I have a Savage 93R17 bull barrel , synthetic stock . I've only sighted it in at ten yards and can't wait to get it out to 100. I've accumulated about 2,000 rounds of different makes of 17HMR . I've basically retired my 22LR rifles , dedicating that caliber to my Browning Buckmark pistol . I've been fortunate in finding 17HMR here in Upstate South Carolina . Wish me luck at the range , and Good Luck getting your rifle and ammo together .
@@victorwaddell6530 I got the same rifle recently except wood stock with the accutrigger. I sighted mine in at 50 and it is pretty much dead on at a 100. After 100 yards though is when the round begins to drop from looking at a drop chart. I need a higher powered scope though to be more consistent. It's a 9 power scope plus I'm half blind so I guess 2 MOA is ok for now lol I can make a few more adjustments though. .17 is still around me also in WV but I noticed the price to creep up a little but still not the increase other rounds have gone. Ive been holding on to my 22 rounds since those are getting scarce here. Enjoy, it's a really good rifle!
Ya weirdly enough I’ve seen thousands of rounds of .17hmr as well. Nearly every store I’ve been in. If I didn’t prefer shooting .22 mag, I’d buy it all!
@@victorwaddell6530 I have the same gun in .22 mag. Shoots dimes all day at 100 yards. Love it! Luckily I bought several thousand rounds the past few years. Long before everything went bat shit crazy. We have a bazillion gophers in MT. Love sitting on the hillside drinking a cold one and blasting those little fukers! Happy shooting friend.
@@jasonlommen4769 I was a trucker for a while back in the 90s , been through MT several times . Beautiful state . I'm looking at getting my CDL again .
200 yards is past max limit in my opinion with 17hmr. It’s a laser beam cartridge, but loses way too much mustard at that distance, plus if there is much wind, it’s too light a round to sustain its trajectory.
100 yards is easy with the 17.....but wind is a big problem around here and has big effect on the 17. Thousands of rounds thru my heavy barrel Savage,and thousands of gophers taken. Iits an awesome round.
I know of some retired guys that would spend all day at the range waiting for big flies to land on the targets at 100 yards so they could pop them with .17 HMRs.
It obliterates small game. Absolutely gruesome! That little bullet opens up like an explosion and will leave a large exit cavity in rabbits and prairie dogs.
One interesting thing about the HMR round-- at least Hornady's 17 grain one-- is that at close distance, you can shoot a 2-liter bottle of water, and you'll have one entrance "wound", but no exit. It dumps all its energy within 5 inches of water, but leaves only the polymer tip and pieces of that bullet shaking around in the bottom of the bottle. 😳 In other words, if you need a round to do big damage to the inside of a small beast, but not damage fur, then the .17HMR will do the trick.
Me and my dad almost purchased a 17. The only problem. They didn't have the ammo for that particular 17. But they did have three other kinds. Including 17 PPC .
I have the same gun different scope and I'm telling ya she is a tack driver. Its one of my all time favorite guns to shoot 🔫. That 917v is a beauty. Who-tee-who
Every time I watch you adjust your scopes I’m telling myself he should do it this way. lol. But then your the method for your madness always works awesome for you. So no one can hate on that. You do you bro. Awesome content. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I shoot at an indoor 50ft range with my 22rf. I had to smile at your 10 Yd shot knowing “from experience “ your 100 yd shot wouldn’t be anywhere close... And smiled again when you spun the adjustments not counting clicks because I do the exact same thing! Lol! Great video and a nice group!
CZ can sell you a 457 American that has both 22lr and 17hmr barrels. It is easy to convert back and forth. Although once you use the 17hmr, you might never swap back. Use fmj bullets on small game you may want to eat. Very lethal and minimum tissue damage. Any expanding bullet from the 17hmr is explosive on small game. The increased range is awesome.
17 Hmr with the right ammo is awesomely accurate. I have a Savage A17 and a CZ453 Varmint and love them both. I can’t think of any thing other than hand loads that shoots so accurately at 100 yards, for such a low cost. Just deadly on gophers. Like they stepped on a land mine.
I love the 17 HMR and you were dead on bro one thing I can add is if the wind is blowing or a blade of grass is in the way the 17 will be off . Thanks for making this and sharing
I think that's a major cliche with the round - there's one video of a guy methodically comparing LR, HMR, and WMR... by the end of the video a storm was almost on top of him with gusting winds right when he was doing the 17 HMR, and it was still the most accurate round. People think wind impacts the round because it's light - but the round also encounters the wind for about half the duration of the other rounds due to its MUCH higher velocity - if you calculate the momentum with the increased velocity it will net a stabilizing factor that also makes the 17 similar or better than other rimfires in my opinion.
@@EstorilEm good morning Alex I’m not sure what video you are talking about?! I’m a shooter with a lot of experience and I draw my conclusions from real world shooting. Yes the 17 is much faster and is also much lighter than the other two calibers! Here in Virginia sometimes we don’t have a lot of open spaces and shooting through brushes and tall grass has caused me to miss a target or two. As far as accuracy I will bet on my 17HMR but my.22 mag still we knock pretty hard on whatever I shoot and.22LR is still my favorite all around plinker
Love my .17 hmr. Bought cases of the 20gr hornadays back in 2008. So much fun to shoot. Very accurate unless someone sneezes in the bullets path. On a calm day, tack drivers.
Thanks Dudley. I am just a regular dude. I have met almost all of the "gun guys" and you are correct.....most are jerks and people you would not want to be around. I have quit going to most of the events
I have many guns but my .17 is flat out a personal favorite to shoot. You can punch a hole in a quarter at 50 yards consistently with a FMJ ( hard to find .17 in FMJ for some reason).
That small group is awesome. That Marlin is a Lazer beam. I'm calling the two that weren't touching the group wind interference impacts. Light projectiles, wind currents, heavy trigger pull, bullet drop or rise, bullet weight differences, thermal variations between the end of the barrel and target, barrel heating, slightly different bullet speeds all mix up for the perfect recipe for deviation from the point of zero. You performed great accuracy and a beautiful group sharpshooter. I loved it. Wishing you were my next door neighbor. Would be awesome. Game animals beware.
I just picked up a Marlin 917VS made in 2005.. traded a 9mm pistol for it a pawn shop.. I got it cleaned up and took my first shot... the scope was 15” left and 5” high... got her zeroed in in 15 rounds and it does hold a very tight group.. 1” or less at 100yds.
I'm impressed with the .17HMR! I never thought it could shoot sub moa. Mine shoots ten shots under an inch at 100 and just under 2" at 200 yards; ten shots!
Quick dial in tip that saves ammunition. Fire one round don't move gun dial scope crosshairs into point of impact can do at 20 yds move to 50 or 100yds Make adjustments and try the groups.
Hey hootie, it's real easy to lighten the trigger on those marlins. Only one spring controlling it. I just clip off a coil and a half from the spring. Drops trigger weight to about 2 3/4 pounds. Much better trigger after that
I was going to tell you all the things you were doing wrong trying to site in with the wind and everything I saw you hit that target basically dead on every shot was a dead squirrel. I figured I just keep my mouth shut. Good job I was impressed.
Hey Who_Tee_Who. My 9-year old son and I have been watching your channel for a while now. We love your content. He wanted to let you know that 100 yds is possible. He shoots water jugs, clays, golf balls, and paint balls all at 100 yds on a calm day. He wants me to let you know he has a Ruger Precision Rifle in .17 HMR. Keep the content coming please!
Thanks for sharing! That’s a nice group. Sub MOA! I have a Ruger American 17 HMR with a Vortex Crossfire II 4-12 x 40mm scope. That thing shoots Sub MOA at 100 yds all day long! I love the 17 HMR! Super accurate!
Excellent! I love mine, and it thumb nail groups at 100 yds as well. Lots of fun shooting eggs, and other targets that splatter good! Yep, ammo is hard to come by right now.
One thing I was shown to zero a rifle using less ammo is to fire a shot, then keep looking through the scope while keep it on your point of aim and move the dials until the cross hairs move to where the bullet hit. Can save some time and some ammo.
laser sight first. then shoot to verify. i have never had to shoot more than 3 rounds to tackdrive.
@@constitutionalrepublican1611 yep laser setup only 39.99 to save countless rounds.

The 17hmr works really well out to 150yds on prairie dogs. But I have used it out to 200 yds on calm days. It's a laser beam inside of 100 yds.
I have a CZ in 17hmr. I have shot 1/2in groups at 100yds. Its a laser beam. I just hate paying for the ammo....
17hmr. Sure thing boss. It’s like a laser within 100 yards. Kills rabbits dead and they don’t even know it. No twitch, no wiggle, nothing.
I know a guy that prairie dog hunts with a 17HMR. Him and his son make a game of it and call the shot like you would in pool. Which eye, ear, noise, you get the picture.
175 yards is doable. Trust me.

I’ve been contemplating buying a 22lr or a 17 hmr this week...since I’ve been watching this channel for a while, I’ve decided to buy both😎
CZ can sell you a 457 American that has both 22lr and 17hmr barrels. It is easy to convert back and forth. Although once you use the 17hmr, you might never swap back. Use fmj bullets on small game you may want to eat. Very lethal and minimum tissue damage. Any expanding bullet from the 17hmr is explosive on small game. The increased range is awesome.
Own one of that very rifle, 3x9x40 on it, just love it.
You should try putting nails in a board but not the whole way and try shooting them to drill them in the rest of the way
Good idea
@@jeffsellars5179 I always did the same as a kid
Ah the good ol days
17 Hmr with the right ammo is awesomely accurate. I have a Savage A17 and a CZ453 Varmint and love them both. I can’t think of any thing other than hand loads that shoots so accurately at 100 yards, for such a low cost. Just deadly on gophers. Like they stepped on a land mine.
You might be country if you need a golf cart to go get your mail and take out the trash! 🤣
and if it is over 20 miles to the post office and we haul our own trash?
I still use my JOHN DEERE riding mower!
F350 or nothing for that
Or old.
I love the 17 HMR and you were dead on bro one thing I can add is if the wind is blowing or a blade of grass is in the way the 17 will be off . Thanks for making this and sharing
I think that's a major cliche with the round - there's one video of a guy methodically comparing LR, HMR, and WMR... by the end of the video a storm was almost on top of him with gusting winds right when he was doing the 17 HMR, and it was still the most accurate round.
People think wind impacts the round because it's light - but the round also encounters the wind for about half the duration of the other rounds due to its MUCH higher velocity - if you calculate the momentum with the increased velocity it will net a stabilizing factor that also makes the 17 similar or better than other rimfires in my opinion.
@@EstorilEm good morning Alex I’m not sure what video you are talking about?! I’m a shooter with a lot of experience and I draw my conclusions from real world shooting. Yes the 17 is much faster and is also much lighter than the other two calibers! Here in Virginia sometimes we don’t have a lot of open spaces and shooting through brushes and tall grass has caused me to miss a target or two. As far as accuracy I will bet on my 17HMR but my.22 mag still we knock pretty hard on whatever I shoot and.22LR is still my favorite all around plinker
I completely relate, “a whole bunch of clickies”!
😂😂😂
Great group with that little 17. Very accurate little rifle
Looks like the one out front of the my house, the one they keep having to replace. But as i grow a little older it seems every hunting season😇.
Nser here too lol were doing awesome with covid cases hey
Very good group for that range and on a windy day at that. Great video
You might hold the record for the most guns owned with only one scope used on them
Possible
Love my .17 hmr. Bought cases of the 20gr hornadays back in 2008. So much fun to shoot. Very accurate unless someone sneezes in the bullets path. On a calm day, tack drivers.
I hate that It is such a smalle hole it is so hard to see even with a spotting scope
Of all the gun guys I watch on YT I think you are the only one I’d really enjoy shooting with.
Thanks Dudley. I am just a regular dude. I have met almost all of the "gun guys" and you are correct.....most are jerks and people you would not want to be around. I have quit going to most of the events
If this guy can sight in A gun I believe anyone should be able to.
I have many guns but my .17 is flat out a personal favorite to shoot. You can punch a hole in a quarter at 50 yards consistently with a FMJ ( hard to find .17 in FMJ for some reason).
.
Realy good shooting, werry Nice setup 👍👍👍🇸🇪🇸🇪
👍👍
My mom bought me a marlin 17hmr for a graduation present in 2005 and it burnt in a truck fire in 2017 by far one of my favorite rifles
Wow, I'd call that dialed in 👍 Awesome stuff, thanks for showing it off.
Thanks for watching!
I'm a 5mm Remington fan, and my 581 gets groups like that all day long. The itty-bitty rimfires do a really good joib
That small group is awesome. That Marlin is a Lazer beam. I'm calling the two that weren't touching the group wind interference impacts. Light projectiles, wind currents, heavy trigger pull, bullet drop or rise, bullet weight differences, thermal variations between the end of the barrel and target, barrel heating, slightly different bullet speeds all mix up for the perfect recipe for deviation from the point of zero. You performed great accuracy and a beautiful group sharpshooter. I loved it. Wishing you were my next door neighbor. Would be awesome. Game animals beware.
I done popped me a bobcat off my back porch at 245 with my savage a17. There was some serious hold over but it got the job done.
Awesome
I just picked up a Marlin 917VS made in 2005.. traded a 9mm pistol for it a pawn shop.. I got it cleaned up and took my first shot... the scope was 15” left and 5” high... got her zeroed in in 15 rounds and it does hold a very tight group.. 1” or less at 100yds.
17 hmr is an awesome little cartridge! I've hit golf balls at 200 yards with mine. It took a few tries but it'll do it. It's good fun
That’s a damn good group, badass scope and beautiful rifle
Man, that round has got some snap! Nice shooting.
Thanks. I purchased a Henry 17 HMR last fall. Do not plan to put a Scope on it but nice to see what it can do.
My brother in law has a 17 HMR, we found if you have any wind on a shooting day as yards to target increase bullet drift is very real indeed.
I'm impressed with the .17HMR! I never thought it could shoot sub moa. Mine shoots ten shots under an inch at 100 and just under 2" at 200 yards; ten shots!
Quick dial in tip that saves ammunition. Fire one round don't move gun dial scope crosshairs into point of impact can do at 20 yds move to 50 or 100yds Make adjustments and try the groups.
Great I just bought that gun & ready to sight in ..good timing ! That was pretty good considering that wind blowing from your right ! Thanks JW
She’s set 👍👍. That’s how I sight in . Just turn in the right direction until it’s dead on . 100% agree
Hey hootie, it's real easy to lighten the trigger on those marlins. Only one spring controlling it. I just clip off a coil and a half from the spring. Drops trigger weight to about 2 3/4 pounds. Much better trigger after that
I was going to tell you all the things you were doing wrong trying to site in with the wind and everything I saw you hit that target basically dead on every shot was a dead squirrel. I figured I just keep my mouth shut. Good job I was impressed.
Here in Wyoming we smoke coyotes all day long with the 17 HMR. Love it. +You can actually find ammo for it to!
Hey Who_Tee_Who. My 9-year old son and I have been watching your channel for a while now. We love your content. He wanted to let you know that 100 yds is possible. He shoots water jugs, clays, golf balls, and paint balls all at 100 yds on a calm day. He wants me to let you know he has a Ruger Precision Rifle in .17 HMR. Keep the content coming please!
Great shooting WTW! Thanks fir sharing!🤘🏽
Happy to see you got a bench for 100 yard shots. Watching you in your truck bed was getting painful. lol . Nice shooting.
I just bought a Henry .17 hmr. I haven’t gotten the chance to shoot it yet but it’s the frontier edition with the octagonal barrel.
Thanks for sharing! That’s a nice group. Sub MOA! I have a Ruger American 17 HMR with a Vortex Crossfire II 4-12 x 40mm scope. That thing shoots Sub MOA at 100 yds all day long! I love the 17 HMR! Super accurate!
Thanks for watching Bobby
Excellent! I love mine, and it thumb nail groups at 100 yds as well. Lots of fun shooting eggs, and other targets that splatter good! Yep, ammo is hard to come by right now.
Savage 93/17 hmr with Hornady 17 gr red tip ammo and BSA sweet 17 scope is the best combo I ever seen
you can get an aftermarket ADJUSTABLE trigger for your Marlin..they are awesome..I just bought one..
