Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger 77 17 WSM for sale
Is the Ruger 17 WSM any good?
Ruger's 77/17 is a solid bolt-action varmint rifle with reliable function and good accuracy potential—most shooters report 5/8" to 3/4" groups. The factory trigger is heavy but workable. Main drawback: 17 WSM ammo costs more and is harder to find than 17 HMR alternatives.
How much does a 17 WSM drop at 200 yards?
A 20 grain 17 WSM bullet drops approximately 4.1 inches at 200 yards when zeroed at 100 yards. This is significantly flatter than the 17 HMR, which drops roughly 8 to 11 inches at the same distance. Exact drop varies by load, velocity, and zero distance.
How far is a 17 WSM good for?
The 17 WSM is effective to 200–250 yards under good conditions. A 20-grain load zeroed at 100 yards drops about 4.1 inches at 200 yards, giving it a flatter trajectory than the 17 HMR. Wind drift remains the primary limiting factor at extended range.
Which is better, 17 HMR or 17 WSM?
Neither is objectively "better"—it depends on your needs. 17 HMR offers cheaper ammo, more rifle choices, and works well under 150 yards. 17 WSM delivers flatter trajectory, higher velocity, and better wind resistance beyond 150 yards but costs more per round and has fewer rifle options.
What can I hunt with a 17 WSM?
The 17 WSM works well on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, coyotes, raccoons, porcupines, and crows out to about 200 yards. It's suited for varmint and small predator hunting. For coyotes, precise shot placement matters, as the cartridge loses energy quickly beyond 200 yards.
What caliber is the Ruger 77-17 available in?
The Ruger 77/17 is available in 17 WSM. Historical models also came in 17 HMR.
