I 'like the numbers on the 17hmr, except for the ammo cost. Its a cute little round, but I don't see it being worth more than surplus 223.
Any expectations that the price will ever drop below 22mag levels?
For me, the appeal is a short-ranged (under 150 yards) but reasonably accurate caliber. Cheap ammo would be prefered. I am sorta tinkering with the idea of a 40-something caliber revolver, so a carbine I handload for might windup a better option. Seems like bullet drop could be a bit of a problem..
Any other ready suggestions, besides intermidate calibers like 223 or 7.62x39?
