PPP Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Interested in anyone that has any real world experience of these. I'm bored of my TBolt 17 hmr trigger and was on the verge of switching to another 17 hmr but wondered whether the 17 wsm would give me less wind problems and hopefully more consistent ammunition. How do you find them as along range Rabbit and short range fox tool, how easy is it too get ammunition, would a SAK mod be suitable? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Go up a bit and go for a 17 Hornet, at least with that you can at some time, control the ammunition by loading your own, and very little cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 I sooooooo want one of these, until I pick up the Savage and feel that .....................bolt action. As soon as there is another rifle available I will give one a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 I have one. The Savage bolt is OK, just different. Back along the RWS 22WMR chucked out 360 ftlbs at the muzzle and was quite a good short range fox round. So I figured at 400 the WSM might just be a tad better. It is, but accuracy lets it down and with Hobson's choice for ammo it means that it's not up to the mark for long range rabbit. If you're after rabbit then Dougy makes a good point. However, before doing anything else and as I used to use these, try the Remingtons in your 17HMR if you haven't already - you might just decide to keep it. Can't answer for the moderator as I don't have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
