I use the 17HMR on squirrels. Headshots only as any body hit makes a mess of the meat. The 17HMR shoots flat out to 100 yards so guessing holdover is a non issue.

Well, not exactly the same game, but I smoked a jack rabbit last Sunday with my .357 mag. snub., 158 gr. Gold Dots, full house charge of 296, ain't no edible meat, unless you like em already pulled and shredded.
But relevant to the 17 hmr, I've shot a few cotton tails, and it is a nice option for such. It also works well for coyotes for those wanting to sell the hides.

Never shot a jack before. Last time I even saw one was at least 6 - 7 years ago.

Don't feel bad. I only got 4 rabbits all season. When I saw a rabbit I didn't have a suitable gun. I had 5 coyotes on my place that were eating the rabbits. Scrap fried chicken and stale biscuits led the coyotes to their death. The coyotes ate good for about 2 weeks until greed got the best of them.
