Several years ago I fell in love with the Hornady 17 Mach 2 rimfire. I found it so accurate with an unbelievably flat trajectory, and from that day forth I parked all my .22lr's.
Then, a few years ago, California struck! Made my hunting areas into a lead-ban area and of course, Hornady didn't make non-lead bullets for the 17m2. I had to go buy a 22wmr, cuz CCI made non-lead 22wmr's ($14+/box OUCH). Both my 17m2 rifles have sadly been parked for a few years now, but last week, the long promised non-lead 17m2's showed up on the net. I order 9 boxes @ $8.79/box, will be delivered Tuesday and I hope to be trying them soon.
