The Tiny Magnum That Destroys Everything -- 17 WSM

[@grantdeisig1360]

Very under-rated and under-appreciated round. People don't know what they are missing. I wish it would get more press so more ammo and gun manufacturers would jump on the wagon. Love my 17WSM.

[@TheOldFatDadGoober]

Thanks for watching!

[@strangemayc]

cuz its a dollar a round for a rimfire

[@grantdeisig1360]

@@strangemayc Where are you getting $50 a box for 17wsm? It's usually $15-$20 for a box of 50, and I have personally found it for $12 a box. That's cheaper than 17hmr and 22mag.

[@robertkubrick3738]

With the cost of reloading components, a .17 Hornet wouldn't be worth reloading if you had this.

[@ellobo1326]

I’ve had a savage bmag with heavy barrel for years. It’s a laser. I primarily shoot the 15 gr. bullet at 3,300 fps. I wear out crows and turtles at 200 yards. Zero recoil, can watch impact through scope. Ammo has been very hard to acquire since the scamdemic. If you can find any it’s 3X more expensive than it was a few years ago. It’s definitely one of my favorite rounds.

Great video!! Very entertaining!! Hot little round.

[@outfitr9703]

I have a synthetic stock bmag, love it. Glass bedded it as per cavedwellers instructions. Shoots so so good and fortunately I bought a crap load of ammo several years ago. Probably splattered over a thousand gophers. Out to 200 yds it's amazing.

Wow, that was a direct center shot through the phone! Im impressed!

[@coryhenson5059]

It would be awesome, if they produced this ammo! You can’t find it anywhere.

[@TheOldFatDadGoober]

Thanks for watching! They have been releasing it in batches. There was a drop a few months ago.

[@nyjetsfan4455]

Are they starting to make ammo for the 17 wsm??

[@TheOldFatDadGoober]

Thanks for watching! There was a bunch made a few months ago. It is spotty.

Olight Baton3 Pro, excellent little flashlight. I work nights outside, highly recommended. They sell them without bullet holes in them too.

That "squirrel" will want to up its defensive game next time 'round...provided it can collect itself after that.

[@mikemarker4387]

I see you put your rifle in a boyds stock. I love mine in that same stock.

[@TheOldFatDadGoober]

Thanks for watching! I finally got around to it. Worth every penny.

[@chrisrayburn]

BTW the scope shot was straight pimpin'. And we all know that ain't easy.😅😊

[@TheOldFatDadGoober]

It was a tricky shot! The rifle is pretty darn accurate though, makes me look good!

[@LigmaBhalls]

Where are you buying ammo, please respond.

[@TheOldFatDadGoober]

@@LigmaBhalls Thanks for watching! I use ammo seek. Winchester releases this stuff in batches. Gotta keep an eye out.

I don't think a sniper at a 100 yards would need a scope to get a solid hit at a head size target.

[@carlosugarte1450]

@TheOldFatDadGoober Lol, a legally blind sniper. The handicap plates blew his cover.
The flashlight was pretty eventful, cool stuff that little cartridge.
