"We know that the .17 HMR was made to shoot accurately at long distances, but because the bullet is so small, it’s hard for most people to hit longer shots." Wow....because the surface diameter of a .30 cal bullet is so much bigger at almost 300 yards.....

No, but I might be able to hit this one:

I’ve nailed prairie dogs at 450 yards with a 22-250 pushing a 55gr Hornady SX...
So I see no problem with this shot...

Using a 10/22 and a subsonic round, I nailed a water moccasin through the head at 60 yards last summer, at night with only flashlight illumination.

Trick question. You can’t shoot that rabbit now, it’s duck season!

Apparently a head shot. While helping New Mexico thin the jackrabbit population, (to limit plague spreading) we observed that a Jack hit in the head with a .22 invariably does a high backflip...

What was the point of shooting the rabbit?
