Bench Sighted my Savage 25 with the Leupold VX2 50mm 4–12 X 50mm and of course the Hornady 17 VMAX Hornet. What a surprise, the first shot was in the black at 100 yards. Six additional shots ended up in the black as well. Moved on to 300 yeads and a few shots wandered out of the black but were within an inch. Given my old failing eyes this was a fulfilling day at the range and a complete success. Squirrel hunting in the Schenandoahs netted six of the little critters. Clean shots that dispatched the critters out to about 200 yds, that was as far as I felt comfortable taking the shot. Zero reoil and very little sound from the Flat flying little round 100% great hunt. I am confident the Coyotes saw would have met the same fate, but of course, not for use on critters larger than the Coyote.
Bigger game calls for my Springfield M1A. I use the Hornady .308 Winchester 168 Grain Boat-Tail Hollow Point with a Vortex Viper PST3-15 x 44mm scope.
Thanks Hornady!!
