Bump

Just got a few of the little hole hogs last weekend. They were quite fat and sassy, the mild winter has been good to them and I expect their numbers will be large this year.

.17 hmr is a great varmint cartridge, couple buddies of mine love theirs. Had a 22.250 but found it to be overkill, bullet carries for far too long after impact. Moved to a .223 for my varminting needs and 53gr vmaxs over 22.5 gr of 4198 has been fantastic.

Can't wait to take my nephew out this spring for some feild cleanup!
