Yes a few do on here mate...

As for the 17hmr I did like it a lot but any wind and it was frustrating and there was a huge batch of ammo that was splitting cases and getting jammed in the barrel... I stuffed up a shot on a fox and the fox was suffering but I had a jammed round and could not get it out, the fox suffered longer than it should have..

I remember hitting a rabbit on the fly at 150m with a 17hmr... it was a brilliant shot helped by the pace of the bullet.
