i didnt see the 125 before i asked that question what type of gun, know 17 hm, but maker and model???
I am in va (hence the name) so all s pretty close for me too, If  i ever see one  . but sounds like would do the job and thata nice hole for 125yds

No it wasn't a 17 hmr... it's a 17 Remington... it's a 222  mag. case (what a 223 is made from) necked down to 17 cal.  That little 17 cal 25 gr pill is running at 3920 fps... a real screamer.      The 17 hmr runs around 2250 fps with a 17 gr pill if I remember right?  Not enough pumpkin for coyote sized game IMO.  The gun is a Cooper model 21....

I got this from a friend, I see them on Gunbroker quite a bit.  You can also order them  straight from Cooper .... http://www.cooperfirearms.com/our_rifles_new.php
