The Tiny Magnum That Destroys Everything -- 17 WSM

Taking another stroll with the 17 Winchester Super Magnum out of the Savage BMag. Today we're shooting some challenging targets including an IPhone, Apple Watch and a Rifle Scope.

[@grantdeisig1360]

Very under-rated and under-appreciated round. People don't know what they are missing. I wish it would get more press so more ammo and gun manufacturers would jump on the wagon. Love my 17WSM.

[@TheOldFatDadGoober]

Thanks for watching!

[@strangemayc]

cuz its a dollar a round for a rimfire

[@grantdeisig1360]

@@strangemayc Where are you getting $50 a box for 17wsm? It's usually $15-$20 for a box of 50, and I have personally found it for $12 a box. That's cheaper than 17hmr and 22mag.

[@robertkubrick3738]

With the cost of reloading components, a .17 Hornet wouldn't be worth reloading if you had this.

[@ellobo1326]

I’ve had a savage bmag with heavy barrel for years. It’s a laser. I primarily shoot the 15 gr. bullet at 3,300 fps. I wear out crows and turtles at 200 yards. Zero recoil, can watch impact through scope. Ammo has been very hard to acquire since the scamdemic. If you can find any it’s 3X more expensive than it was a few years ago. It’s definitely one of my favorite rounds.

Love the round shot the savage wasn't impressed shot the ruger absolutely love it. Nice vid.

I have a synthetic stock bmag, love it. Glass bedded it as per cavedwellers instructions. Shoots so so good and fortunately I bought a crap load of ammo several years ago. Probably splattered over a thousand gophers. Out to 200 yds it's amazing.

It would be awesome, if they produced this ammo! You can’t find it anywhere.

Thanks for watching! They have been releasing it in batches. There was a drop a few months ago.

Olight Baton3 Pro, excellent little flashlight. I work nights outside, highly recommended. They sell them without bullet holes in them too.

[@TheOldFatDadGoober]

Thanks for watching! Worked great as my everyday light for a couple of years.

I’d say a bit more body armor!😵‍💫 Love the flashlight!!

That "squirrel" will want to up its defensive game next time 'round...provided it can collect itself after that.

Note to watch-users: Don't buy Apple watch obsolete tech. Buy a mechanical watch that will out-last an apocalypse. Much more worth your money.

BTW the scope shot was straight pimpin'. And we all know that ain't easy.😅😊

[@TheOldFatDadGoober]

It was a tricky shot! The rifle is pretty darn accurate though, makes me look good!

[@DanLaTour12]

The most I see, the more I need a minimalist savage, just saying😊

[@TheOldFatDadGoober]

Thanks for watching! Seems like a neat rifle.

[@dinsixiengmay9781]

Great round if you don't intend to eat the small game and save meat 😁😁

[@nyjetsfan4455]

Are they starting to make ammo for the 17 wsm??

[@TheOldFatDadGoober]

Thanks for watching! There was a bunch made a few months ago. It is spotty.

Where are you buying ammo, please respond.

I personally love the 17 WSM, but, unfortunately, it’s struggling to get any real traction here in Australia. And that is a crying shame, as it has a lot to offer. I’ll just keep enjoying mine.17WSM and Pit Vipers: you, my friend, are going places.

[@TheOldFatDadGoober]

Thanks for watching! It's the killer combo! The 17 WSM seems like it would be a great for for Australia. The folks out west here seem to really love it.

[@2clicksup910]

@@TheOldFatDadGoober it’s funny here. Some really strange things take off, but what looks really good often doesn’t get out of the blocks. And there are lot of fads that start and take off with much promise and fanfare, only to wane just as quickly where people are instinctively drawn back to what they know. It also has a lot to do with what is being written and by who.

[@carlosugarte1450]

I don't think a sniper at a 100 yards would need a scope to get a solid hit at a head size target.

[@TheOldFatDadGoober]

Thanks for watching! I never said it was a competent sniper.

[@carlosugarte1450]

@TheOldFatDadGoober Lol, a legally blind sniper. The handicap plates blew his cover.
The flashlight was pretty eventful, cool stuff that little cartridge.
