17 HMR Squirrel Shooting Video

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

I finally broke down and spent the day going through dvd’s from last year’s squirrel shooting trips. I didn’t try to do anything artistic with this video, but it does quell the basic need for seeing squirrels getting whacked… I’ll try to get up some more videos in the next week or two, so check back.

All of these squirrels were shot using my Savage 17hmr accutrigger, with Hornady 17gr ballistic tip bullets. On a side note, there’s nothing like having a video camera mounted on your rifle to show you when you jerk the trigger.

Sako Quad in 17HMR and a Rabbit

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Quick little video of a rabbit getting shot by a 17 HMR Sako. the 17HMR is one of the best small game rifles made, and can take a rabbit or squirrel out to 165 yards with just a few inches of drop from zero. The ideal sighting range for a 17 HMR is 85 yards, which puts a 17 grain ballistic tip bullet at plus or minus .75 of an inch between 35 yards and 135 yards. That lets put the cross hairs directly on the rabbit or squirrel, and be off by less than an inch.
