    I have owned a CZ 455 chambered in .17HMR for a little over a year, and killed plenty of rabbits and hares with it as well as the odd magpie. I use 17gr hornady V-max ammo which is yet to let me down. I am comfortable shooting rabbits and magpie's with the .17HMR out to 200-220yds, however prefer to be a bit closer for hares (150yds). I would recommend the .17HMR to anyone for varminting, it is a incredible accurate calibre in calm conditions, one thing to be aware of however is that at 100+yds a small crosswind can push the light 17gr bullet around quite alot, so you will have to pick the conditions.
