Henry
So I go up to Lake Havasu to see the parents and grammmy 😯
Pop’s comes out and asks me if I could use some bullets a friend gave him 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄
17 HMR, I say no, well he comes walking out with this .17 Henry lever gun and says now you do 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯
WTF, my dad has never given me anything much less a rifle.
Told me it would be the last thing he would ever give me, and note,
the first.
Never really even heard of this round, kinda a semi- new [3-4 years old]

No! if you don’t want it, sell it to me, please!!please!!!please!!!!
Nice Golden Boy. The 17HMR is a round I’ve been wanting to mess around with. I think they usually run 2500-2800 FPS. The frangible bullets turn little critters into a mess while the more solid ones make such tiny holes they’re good for trappers to preserve fur. The cost of ammo sure beats the .17 Remington for a small caliber round. If you’re not into the .17 I’ll trade you a .22LR for it. 😉
Depending on how well the Henry shoots it, you should love that round.
I have a 23″ barrel for my TC Contender, and it basically 1 holes @ 100yards.
Wear earplugs though, that aint your grand-dads rimfire. 😉
Very nice, Saw… the HMR is a very interesting little round. Very frangible, very flat shooting, and very accurate. A bit affected by wind, but not enough to cause anything other than minute of eyeball on most critters up to 100 yards. Beyond that, wind plays a bigger role.
I love the HMR round. The HM2 is interesting as well, but I dont have one of those.
Just goes to show…Ya never know what will be around the next corner….
That is a varmit killing round right there and one fine looking rifle…
Congrats Saw
thats a good gun there
u can bust some heads open on crows with the 17 hmr it is a nice flat shooting gun
