The so called animal lovers should maybe read up on the damage theese birds actually inflict on the bird and other animal populations before they all start crying murder and running of to join the green party. Get educated or go out with a group of hunters and actually learn something. It's a dirty job but someone has to do it.
Sean Penn Sadly you wasted your time. Trying to address the PETA want to be people. They are the same ones who think only cops need guns and the government will take care of you.
I think the camo is to hide from people that might know them while they're shooting birds. I wonder if the car they are shooting out of is camouflaged as well
What a lot of people don't realise is that some of the most destructive pests are not the rooks, which are what you are shooting here,but the insect larvae they are the main predator of. You can have a greater weight of insect larvae under the ground than sheep and cattle on top! I am an ex farmer and I'll own up to shooting a lot of things, but I would never touch the rooks, because they do far and away mor good than harm.
@@suanvasi4979 wrong. While most animals kill other animals for food including humans most animals also kill other animals that invade their territory. Fact humans are no different. The ones that don't acknowledge this have had their heads up their own rears since birth.
Only just clocked this video. Zero 200yrd then 3.5" drop to 300 yrds. Why did I buy a 220 swift? Actually published trajectory for 17gn Hornady ammo is 2 feet of drop at 300 from a 200 zero but you also have to cope with a 4 inch high 100 yrd trajectory no wonder most of your targets were taken at ranges within the capability of the average 22 LR.
Remember that this was one of our very first videos. We now get new videos up DAILY. We're not planning on publishing more than 365 videos per year. I'm totally uninterested in what the antis say - and that's an understatement. You're never going to change their minds, not matter what you do.
Hey team wild can you guys please clean up some of these comment, I'd like to read what other shooter have to say not all these whining idiots and antis
Sorry about the 'inaccurate' ballistics info. Full camo? Never thought about buying a separate outfit for crow shooting. Just used my usual gear. Laughable is buying an additional set of the same gear in a different colour for no good reason...
Great caliber , had mine for 2 months now and love it , best corvid to date was 145 meters and rabbits up to 200 , even dropped Charlie at 110 with a head shot . Love it
Hi Ian can you tell me what scope rings your using please, i have the ruger 77/17 and the scope I'm using is the match viper 10x44ir 30mm tube. Great channel keep up the good work
The Ruger 77/17 comes screw cut to accept 1/2" UNF moderators. There's no affect on terminal velocity, it's just the hole is bigger! I use my .308 mod on my 7x64mm and it has also does not negatively affect bullet performance.
Really? Well you still come up WAY short on my calendar for last year - your unimpressive boast represents around 20% of my hunting each year - but brag away all you want. With all the nasty comments and poisonous posts I'd actually suggest that you spend most of your time behind a keyboard being horrid out of sheer jealousy...
I love to shoot, for those who hate the sport, don't force me to dislike it. Its not fair to impose one's likes and dislikes upon others. If you don't respect that, well, I love to shoot...
you guys should do a vid about the 17 hmr, accuracy testing, price etc theres still alot of guys i know who havent heard of it. and i actually have not seen a (more) professional review of the round. have you thought of this b4 maybe?
Ive got a question for you guys! I live in rural Alberta, Canada, and we have a mass amounts of gophers, badgers, muskrats, beaver, etc. Alot of varmints. Im looking into getting a .17HMR for some pest control, what do you think?
Well I’m happy shooting them out at very long ranges with my .22 lr using subsonic ammo and I normally hit and kill them and even some woodies also the ammo is much cheaper as you know and it’s much quieter so I shall stick to my .22lr
I haven't checked the actual muzzle velocity over the chrono yet, but if you believe the box, the Winchester V-Max kicks out the 17grain bullet at 2550fps. This equates to 245fpe at the muzzle.
We're not 'ambassadors for hunting' - we're Team Wild. I hunt WAY more than you and by the sound of your whining, I have WAY more fun than you. Get a life troll
I love going on hunting videos and seeing posts about how "killing animals is evil" its like dude, other animals kill each other all the time, and man has been hunting animals for food and other practical purposes since the beginning of human existence... plus when people say "how would you like it if someone shot your kid" it just makes them look like bigger morons because realistically that will never happen unless some sick bastard brings a gun to a school and shoots it up... in which case he'd get the death penalty or life in prison usually... but really it's as simple as this: all the meat you buy at a grocery store is from animals that have been on a farm/warehouse, collected and bred with hundreds of thousands of animals just like them for one purpose: eventually dying, getting fried and covered in hot sauce to feed some random fat guy in Louisiana. and it's debatable that these animals are also mutilated and tortured in those warehouses. So if you're all concerned about the animal's feelings, I'm pretty sure sniping the animal and instantly killing them during a hunt is a way more humane way to kill them than having them locked in a crowded warehouse, feeding them steroids to make them riper, and then holding them upside down by the talons and cutting their heads off. And I'm not an animal rights activist, I just have common sense. Animal domestication for food is basically the holocaust for animals. They're all just waiting to die.
@Álvaro SAMPEDRO RODRÍGUEZ this wasn’t “killing for fun”. I’m sure they enjoyed it but it’s pest control. These birds mess with the crops. Just like how people shoot chipmunks because they chew car wires
I have a ruger 77/22mag I bought a green mountain barrel in .17 hrm fluted for it and it shoots fantastic I love it and many of sage rats in eastern Oregon are no longer with us using this setup
Cool videos we always use a .204 for them crows but unless you reload its kinda expensive to shoot that much but you do know if you hit them. We usually get them out at 4 or 500 yards in the pastures great vids keep them up thanks.
This is very highly recomend for scopes the burris eliminator 3 laser scope it takes all the long range shots because it is a scope and a range finder all in one it is like magic,your spotter it doesent give corrections but it direct/shows you where your shot will be so i highly recomend it i hope you do a video of that. Thanks! Prym ubasa
.17 Hmr. is a fun little shooter. Perfect for this sniper type hunting. I like a very fine mil-dot reticle in a 4x12 optic or greater. Also you would like a very light pull on a trigger for this. Crow calls and popcorn for bait. Have fun.
i would like to say my 22lr can hit just fine at 200+yards the only reason i haven't killed a crow yet is because they fly away the minuite they hear the crack of my rifle(i use an brake barrel and its not thredded for a slincer)and the bullet usually hits were the crow was!
Ok so let me get this straight. You claim the 17 HMR can only shoot 200-300yrds. But a .22 LR can shoot over a mile. Even though the 17HMR has more powder and less mass HMMMM something tells me people think it only shoots 2-3 hundred yards because theyve never shot it further. He also states that it drops off significantly after 60 yards that is so absurdly false i dont have enough words to ecplain how wrong you are. I shoot my 17HMR anywhere from 25-200 yards very often and it has little to no drop at all. So this video is extraordinarily inaccurate
yea i would not take that far of a shot either... and as far as 22LR dropping at 60yards... i like this channel and their vids however the ballistics info on the 22LR is REALLY incorrect, dropping off at 60 yards sagnificantly i could possibly understand if they are using the augilla 60gr sniper cartridge, but give credit where its due the 17HMR is more accurate than your standard 22LR rifle
Whats the best zero for 17hmr for flattest shooting? I prefer to use holdover for longer distance rather than worrying about being to high at closer range due to zeroing for long shots.
As far as I'm aware, only .22 semi-auto rimfire rifles are permitted 'section one' firearms under UK firearms laws. This means .17HMR are currently not allowed on a standard UK firearms license.
You do some good vids usually but this is not one of them. Obvious lack of knowledge re the bullet drop, viking arms have been pulling your leg I think! Some not so good footage of crows getting hit. The antis will love it though! Get some more vids up, to your usual standard please!
I cannot understand why you kill crows. Seed and grain is a tiny part of their diet. Insects, snakes, lizard, carrion, birds eggs (rare in the country) and small mammals are mostly on the menu.
ive probably watched your videos a hundred times, i love your videos, the keep me entertained and makes me want to get out there and start doing pest control myself
Sorry, I had to dumb it down for the subjects. Please see the American version below. Amen. But beyond that, I am sick of hearing subjects from any queen’s colony running their mouths about our gun rights. That includes, but is not limited to, the U.K., Canada, and Australia. Like every Tory, they are quite happy without rights and believe you should feel the same. Forget deporting the Mexicans; let’s get the subjects of the crown out first.
they are pesting, not really the same thing. they have hundreds of video documented footage of them hunting. Just as when i was in Georgia hunting hogs we were in a jeep, because they were tearing through thousands of dollars of crop technique gave way to what was most effective and comfortable. which is different from when i pest small game in my yard or hunt deer at state game lands. seriously just get off your computer.
What is with you guy's? You are both shooters so you should be friends, not enemies. Your enemies are your governments who will take your guns from you if you give them enough excuses. Einstein said that he did not know how the third world war would be fought but he said that fourth world war would be fought with sticks and stones. Your behaviour would guarantee that we all lose our guns and hunt with sticks and stones. You could begin with a proper command of English grammar. Tut-tut.
Hmm. It seems you're a tad insecure, or you've had some parental issues that obviously weren't resolved at a younger age. You're saying that its wrong to ask a question to someone who probably has more experience with certain types of weapons. I don't own a rimfire rifle, so its nice to maybe get some feedback from people who do. I can't see why you watch these videos if all you're going to do is hate on people looking to broaden their knowledge of a particular subject. You should kindly leave.
I never said it was the most efficient tool. Yes I know it is not the best tool for the job, on windy days my 17 hmr sucks at long range. Too much wind drift. All I'm saying is people hunt how they want to hunt. People like a challenge be they professional hunters or not. I started using a handgun because I like getting close even though I could benchrest my 270 wsm and shoot a hog 500 yards away. I'd rather shoot at 15 yards away with a handgun because that is what I like to do.
Using the most effective tool does not make you a professional nor do professional always use the most effective tool, Look at Larry Weishuhn he uses a pistol. People still hunt with long bows because that is how they like to hunt. If they are hitting the birds apparently it is suitable. At 300 yards on a small target you either hit or miss. At that distance a hit is gonna humanely put the animal down
Basically if all birds were humans, not many of us would be smart enough to be crows. They are really funny birds with a -genuine- sense of humor. My crow used to eat ice cream, and persecute my dog and my little brother. Just putting some pro-crow propaganda out there. Why not shoot cats instead? They are little creeps.
We call them crows in Australia and you cant level a broomstick at them, and they are bloody protected.Clever bird but really nicko102 tells you what ever Australian country boy gets up to,well used to anyway.Shit i think im getting old.
god, how i hate idiots who needlessly kill animalz just to make themselves feel like big men. it's sick and heartless, and there is mental illness involved.
cant even find ammo for that anymore. And if you do its so the price is so high. Damn gun laws. NY your only allowed to buy 2- 50rd boxes of 22LR. Yes thats only 2 of the $2 boxes. Even that you cant find ammo. what a joke
I wonder if this cameron martin kid noticed that at 5:14 the bullet goes down hill and into the side of another and at 5:45 he actually reloads the magazine im assuming it was empty when passed over that fence
In the UK, we are alloweed to shoot from a car but, it is not legal to shoot deer from a vehicle. Not sure why you got a hostile reply to your question and I hope this answers your question better.
There is no need for camo in that situation, but my field clothes are camo, so whenever I'm hunting or shooting I'm wearing them, so this is his field set, whats the big deal ?
We don't want Piers Morgan back! We've started a Parliamentary petition for our government to lobby your government to keep him permantely...a sort of extraordinary rendition.
You can get .22 WMR semi-auto's though can't you just seems daft, it's a larger case than a .22LR and a larger bullet than the 17 hmr so isn't it gonna be more powerful and more "deadly"?
Well... you are not a professional hunter. These guys to get paid to shoot... they shoot more in 1 month than you have your whole life.I not being mean just sayin...
You make it sound as if it took millions of years just to create one animal. Remind me, how many crows are there in the UK alone, not to mention the entire world?
Forgot to add, to prove you really do have no idea, I think you should put up a target at 300 yards and see just how much drop you get from a 200yard zero. Hmmm, just a tad more than what you said, by around 18inches. Never mind your weren't far out.....
No offence mate but im 16 and when i was 14 i was dropping crows at over 220 yards without them even flapping, you need to improve on your accuracy lol
Great video, but 300 yards is asking a tad much from the 17 HMR. Maybe 200 yards. I have the same caliber in a Browning T-bolt. The CCI A-17 17 HMR @ ammo @ 2,650 fps will still be going 1,466 fps at 200 yards with 81 ft. lbs of energy. Sighted in at 100 yards, the drop at 200 yards will be only 7.5 inches. Actually a bit less drop because the ammo's actual muzzle velocity is about 2,700 fps. I really like the fact that they've put a 3-12x56 MM Zeiss Victory scope on the rimfire, instead of the usual 50 Euro Bushnell Banner. I had the same Zeiss scope, and it was my favorite. The video demonstrates why it makes good sense to put an expensive scope on a rimfire rifle. The only drawback is that most rimfire ammo bullets have fairly low ballistic coefficients. The above 17 grain bullet's ballistic coefficient is only .128, whereas the 17 Winchester Rimfire Supermag 25 grain round uses varmint bullets that have a BC of .185. The BC of a bullet is useful because it tells us instantly at approximately what range in yards that the bullets muzzle energy will drop by 50%. In this case, the 17 HMR 17 grain bullet has lost 50% of its energy at 128 yards.
You were spot on with your assessment of the Ruger 77 rimfire series. I own a 77/22 magnum rifle. They cost a good deal more than a marlin or savage but are well worth the money. The gun is as good quality as a centerfire hunting rifle. The trigger on this gun is far too heavy. I believe mine was 6 and a half lbs. I bought an aftermarket trigger and now the pull is 2 and a half lbs. I absolutely love it now. It is ridiculously accurate with 33 grain Remington ballistic tips.
Thanks for the info. We're going to put a lot more time into this cartridge. I've got my long range work down with my .300 winmag, but shooting a .17HMR at 300 yards is like shooting my .300 at 1200yards! :-)
I so envy the good sense in England where you can use silencers. In the US our ears suffer from stupid regulations outlawing silencers on hunting guns.
It's a simple stamp tax, not that hard here in Texas to get one.
I Use a 7mm mag and turn the crows instantly into fertilizer
Oh dear... this is DEFINITELY the wrong channel for you my friend. Please don't watch any more of our videos. They might give you nightmares....
The so called animal lovers should maybe read up on the damage theese birds actually inflict on the bird and other animal populations before they all start crying murder and running of to join the green party. Get educated or go out with a group of hunters and actually learn something. It's a dirty job but someone has to do it.
yes get your feet wet before you cry murder
Sean Penn Sadly you wasted your time. Trying to address the PETA want to be people. They are the same ones who think only cops need guns and the government will take care of you.
that's not true laby 70, i vote conservative, think PETA is full of shit, love my guns and am still a responsible human being.
I only shoot crows with a .700 nitro express, can't take any chances!
Adam Haun evaporize the little bastards
John R leave no traces!
For squirrels I use ATLEAST .950jdj
shooting buffalo with a cannon
Crows are known for squawking after they been shot and waking up the dead ! Being that said , I only used a Howitzer ! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Britts wearing real tree? Friggin awesome!
There's something funny as hell about a guy wearing camo while shooting birds.
Kevin Jones +1 for cockwomble.lol
Well what about wearing riding around and shooting out the truck window.
Glenn Lathem last time I thought that wasn’t legal 🤫🙄
I think the camo is to hide from people that might know them while they're shooting birds. I wonder if the car they are shooting out of is camouflaged as well
Crows see you, they are gone faster than anything else out there.
Stop the hate, this is just pest control, this are a pest, animal lovers if we don't kill the pest, you don't have your food period.
Xavi Lanuite what?
julio Castillo im an animal lover and I am fine with this, we need to do this to help crops and get rid of overpopulation, 100% support the hunters

Yes everything has a place in nature. No one is saying to completely wipe out pest species, but everything has to be managed in some way.

Firstly, I'm American. Secondly, I have more guns than you do. Thirdly, we definitely DON'T want you to take us seriously. thanks for watching :-)
wont take you seriously, got it.. peace out.
Only just clocked this video. Zero 200yrd then 3.5" drop to 300 yrds. Why did I buy a 220 swift?

If you have feed issues with a 10/22 mag, make sure the spring has exactly three turns of tension on it. No more no less..... that usually fixes it.

Great caliber , had mine for 2 months now and love it , best corvid to date was 145 meters and rabbits up to 200 , even dropped Charlie at 110 with a head shot . Love it
Hi Ian can you tell me what scope rings your using please, i have the ruger 77/17 and the scope I'm using is the match viper 10x44ir 30mm tube.
Great channel keep up the good work
Thought this said covid 🤣😂😂😂😂
Same here 😂
First time I've seen crows described as 'birds that don't do anyone any harm'... Perhaps you need to visit a few sheep farms during lambing season...

At 80-90yds a well placed shot would have been an instant kill on a crow. 150yds the same. shot placement if everything.
3.5 inch drop between 200 and 300 yards? Ha ha! Keep dreaming, Harford.
More like 28 inches!!!
Great shooting! 17 HMR is my favourite rimfire rifle for small game shooting. It knocks the prey over dead easy
hi, also in aus, do you need to have a big property for "the reason" to get a hunting rifle? Can a standard suburbanite get say this exact rifle?
Holy fuck i searched .357 long range revolver and this came up lol imagine a fucking .357 hit a bird

Hmm. It seems you're a tad insecure, or you've had some parental issues that obviously weren't resolved at a younger age. You're saying that its wrong to ask a question to someone who probably has more experience with certain types of weapons. I don't own a rimfire rifle, so its nice to maybe get some feedback from people who do. I can't see why you watch these videos if all you're going to do is hate on people looking to broaden their knowledge of a particular subject. You should kindly leave.
I never said it was the most efficient tool. Yes I know it is not the best tool for the job, on windy days my 17 hmr sucks at long range. Too much wind drift. All I'm saying is people hunt how they want to hunt. People like a challenge be they professional hunters or not. I started using a handgun because I like getting close even though I could benchrest my 270 wsm and shoot a hog 500 yards away. I'd rather shoot at 15 yards away with a handgun because that is what I like to do.
Using the most effective tool does not make you a professional nor do professional always use the most effective tool, Look at Larry Weishuhn he uses a pistol. People still hunt with long bows because that is how they like to hunt. If they are hitting the birds apparently it is suitable. At 300 yards on a small target you either hit or miss. At that distance a hit is gonna humanely put the animal down
Is not to expensive shoitibg birds with .178 ammunition instead a .22LR for example?
Basically if all birds were humans, not many of us would be smart enough to be crows. They are really funny birds with a -genuine- sense of humor. My crow used to eat ice cream, and persecute my dog and my little brother. Just putting some pro-crow propaganda out there. Why not shoot cats instead? They are little creeps.
We call them crows in Australia and you cant level a broomstick at them, and they are bloody protected.Clever bird but really nicko102 tells you what ever Australian country boy gets up to,well used to anyway.Shit i think im getting old.
I have smashed 2 crows with a bamboo stick
I wish they would take back their criminal Piers Morgan...Please let him come back...
god, how i hate idiots who needlessly kill animalz just to make themselves feel like big men. it's sick and heartless, and there is mental illness involved.
cant even find ammo for that anymore. And if you do its so the price is so high. Damn gun laws. NY your only allowed to buy 2- 50rd boxes of 22LR. Yes thats only 2 of the $2 boxes. Even that you cant find ammo. what a joke
I wonder if this cameron martin kid noticed that at 5:14 the bullet goes down hill and into the side of another and at 5:45 he actually reloads the magazine im assuming it was empty when passed over that fence
In the UK, we are alloweed to shoot from a car but, it is not legal to shoot deer from a vehicle. Not sure why you got a hostile reply to your question and I hope this answers your question better.
Not right now, no.
There is no need for camo in that situation, but my field clothes are camo, so whenever I'm hunting or shooting I'm wearing them, so this is his field set, whats the big deal ?
We don't want Piers Morgan back! We've started a Parliamentary petition for our government to lobby your government to keep him permantely...a sort of extraordinary rendition.
You can get .22 WMR semi-auto's though can't you just seems daft, it's a larger case than a .22LR and a larger bullet than the 17 hmr so isn't it gonna be more powerful and more "deadly"?
Well... you are not a professional hunter. These guys to get paid to shoot... they shoot more in 1 month than you have your whole life.I not being mean just sayin...
You make it sound as if it took millions of years just to create one animal. Remind me, how many crows are there in the UK alone, not to mention the entire world?
Forgot to add, to prove you really do have no idea, I think you should put up a target at 300 yards and see just how much drop you get from a 200yard zero. Hmmm, just a tad more than what you said, by around 18inches. Never mind your weren't far out.....
Too much gabbin
It's nice to have English shooters on I thought there were only Americans on youtube all very good though.
Well as she is here with me and before you say anything no she is not fornicating so yeah
Full on camo,in England,hunting out of a car,for birds. I can be a professional hunter too
Eat corn mainly. Eat corn that, to use an example, took a year or half a year to grow. Thats time and profit that dribbled out of a farmers pocket.
where is Britain where there ever "gun rights"? lol. for most countries owing firearms is a privledge not a right. oh, they do own firearms in the UK
No offence mate but im 16 and when i was 14 i was dropping crows at over 220 yards without them even flapping, you need to improve on your accuracy lol
It’s not hunting, of any kind, if you have to shoot from within a vehicle. Man up and get out to the critters
I just tested positive for corvid17
Senseless butchery. Camo, are you serious, camo? Comically pathetic.
No, 22LR does not “drop off significantly after 50-60 yards” 🙄
It will not take long until the Crows adapt 223 Rem and Got have mercy on you.
Great video, but 300 yards is asking a tad much from the 17 HMR. Maybe 200 yards. I have the same caliber in a Browning T-bolt. The CCI A-17 17 HMR @ ammo @ 2,650 fps will still be going 1,466 fps at 200 yards with 81 ft. lbs of energy. Sighted in at 100 yards, the drop at 200 yards will be only 7.5 inches. Actually a bit less drop because the ammo's actual muzzle velocity is about 2,700 fps.
I really like the fact that they've put a 3-12x56 MM Zeiss Victory scope on the rimfire, instead of the usual 50 Euro Bushnell Banner. I had the same Zeiss scope, and it was my favorite. The video demonstrates why it makes good sense to put an expensive scope on a rimfire rifle.
The only drawback is that most rimfire ammo bullets have fairly low ballistic coefficients. The above 17 grain bullet's ballistic coefficient is only .128, whereas the 17 Winchester Rimfire Supermag 25 grain round uses varmint bullets that have a BC of .185. The BC of a bullet is useful because it tells us instantly at approximately what range in yards that the bullets muzzle energy will drop by 50%. In this case, the 17 HMR 17 grain bullet has lost 50% of its energy at 128 yards.
You were spot on with your assessment of the Ruger 77 rimfire series. I own a 77/22 magnum rifle. They cost a good deal more than a marlin or savage but are well worth the money. The gun is as good quality as a centerfire hunting rifle. The trigger on this gun is far too heavy. I believe mine was 6 and a half lbs. I bought an aftermarket trigger and now the pull is 2 and a half lbs. I absolutely love it now. It is ridiculously accurate with 33 grain Remington ballistic tips.
Pleasure? No. Pest control.
You can sit and watch, that is normally what you do. You normally sit and watch as your rights are taken away. Ours will not.
Thanks for the info. We're going to put a lot more time into this cartridge. I've got my long range work down with my .300 winmag, but shooting a .17HMR at 300 yards is like shooting my .300 at 1200yards! :-)
A 22lr is better because its a heavier bullet you said it would drop a lot at 200 yards u didn't even shoot that far
Stupid question I know. But if this is the European team. Why are y'all measuring distance/ judging distance in yards?
