That would be neat, but how fast does that drop off past 100 yrds?

There is a review here at Ammo Review.

Looks to be something to shoot for :)

The velocity boost should also translate to more impressive terminal performance at longer ranges. Though the .17 HMR has proven to be a very accurate round, its knockdown power on even moderate-size prairie dogs at 100 yards is just so-so.

Meh...

Nosler 225gr Accubond zeroed @ 200 only drifts about 1.75" in a 10PMH 90 degree crossing wind. It doesn't drift as much as this .17 until around the 375 yrd mark. At 500 yrds it's about a 37" drop and still cooking along at about 2200 fps carrying about 3300 ft-lbs of energy.

Zero it for 400 and it stretched to a 1000 yrds easily. It'd work great on a p-dog. Better on large thin skinned game...

For a smaller round, I have an accurized AR that prints clover leafs at 100. It's almost a BR rifle at this point and "tactically" useless. I have other toys for that.
