Not intending to change the direction of the thread, but nobody has mentioned th 17 WSM. I have both and really like both ....
I think the wsm has an advantage after 150 yards or so .
Hornady has the wsm in a 20 grain @ 3000 fps and a - 4.1 " @ 200 yards
They say the same 20 grain in the hmr @ -10.7 at 200 yards..
Not a huge difference but it's enough to consider if your actually shooting that kind of distance on the regular.
You can also get a 26 grain bullet in the wsm and it's still going about 2600 fps.
Once again I'm not knocking the hmr it's a great round but I personally like my wsm just a smigeon more
