    Yeah .. from the posts here .. easy to figure out the gun to go with

    I have the 5 shot bolt action and the 10 shot semi auto bull barrell..17Hmr…absolutely spot on except for the nasty “crack” that round makes when fired… great killing power for small game …. And even Bigger

    Recently talked to a mate of mine in Alaska… seems the “natives” (Inuit/Athibaskin).. use the 17hmr on caribou(headshots)with no issues at all….its a very potent round!!
