More 17hmr lore - IIRC, a lot of the 17hmr ammo is made by 1 or 2 factories and different labels slapped on it, so even if you're a 'die hard' fan of brand X or Y, it's made by brand Z with a brand X label - so don't pay more. I stick w/CCI mostly and Hornady in a pinch, and then choose the CCI 'target' or 'coyote' or 'squirrel' as necessary - the coyote stuff will blow a bigger hole, you don't want to be blowing up a tasty rabbit or squirrel. Dear Leader has pretty much wrecked the US $ so prices are twice what they were when I started. But hey, that's everything, everywhere. Dear Leader knows best, Mr NSA watcher.
My eyes aren't what they were, so when I use a .17hmr at the range I bring binoculars to see how close to the 10 ring I got - on a wind free day, with my good scope it's like I knew what I was doing or something. I wouldn't want me mad at me, if the wind's not blowing (it's Kansas. Wind is serious sh*t with a tiny bullet going fast as h*ll)
