Metalhead_Mojo Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 it never ceases to amaze me what the .17 HMR can do Quote
Scott_J Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 I told you guys about 6 months ago that the rH factor for the .17 was out there. Its an amazing round. Just think though, Col. Ackley(spelling might be off) developed the .17 cal Ackely Bee for varmit hunting in the late 50s or early 60s. He necked down a 44 mag to shoot the Bee. This version is much beter than his though. Its got more range and greater rH factor. Quote
Scott_J Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 Prairie dogs are cute.Sure they are, but they are an added nuisance on private land where livestock and horses are. Tell some teenage kid they should be left alone after their horse has broken a leg in a dog hole and needs to be put down. I say private land cause some areas are stopping the shooting of dogs on public lands. Dogs provide a sevice in that they dig and forage around and loosen up the soil. Large groups feed all kinds of predators, their decomposing bodies provide nutrients for the surrounding plants and micro organisms. Shooting a few will NEVER put a dent in their populations cause they bred like rats. Quote
