If you sight for a 140 yrd zero at 1.5 high at 100,you have 5-6" drop at 200 yards with less than 90flb
God knows know what you have at 250 or more let alone a slight breeze.
I would consider it...

Beause there isn't enough energy left to make a good kill

you need to go back and do your thing
your numbers don't add up

I have no doubt that your pretty good at those sort of shots.
I'm just not too sure whether those who buy a 17 HMR can be as good as you.

I been watching this thread
Interesting you should recommend the 17HMR out to 250 and beyond.
I have serious doubts at the HMR at 200, even though I have shot rabbits at that range....
