100 yard coin challenge with a .17 HMR 

Is that the switch-barrel model? I have the 452 American with the heavy, fluted and threaded 16" tube. Amazing gun, and why I got my 527 in 7.62x39.

Great accuracy, and great table.

Thank you so much, You inspired me to build a shooting table like yours. Great idea!

Great video, I’ll have to try that once the snow is gone. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome video!

Awesome Shooting!!! I really enjoyed the video.

Awesome video. The 17 hmr is one of my favorite rifles

Hey Halfmile I’m glad I found this one

Great video

Very fine shooting. Subscribed

Love my Savage .17HMR. By far, my favorite rifle to shoot!

Hi Halfmile. Those CZ Rimfire Rifles are great little Guns. I like to shoot at coins with my .22BR. Punches neat little hole clean through. Keep up the good work

Nice shooting halfmile. I've been looking at the CZ and Savage 93R17 TRR in .17 HMR. I do own a CZ 527 American in 7.62x39 and it's an awesome shooter.

Nice shooting! Dad started me out that way 60+ years ago!

I could hit the eye balls in the coin if I had that set up!! Lol good shooting

Great shooting and video Halfmile I’ve got to get out here and try the card splitting in a couple days be safe buddy and GOD BLESS y’all Amen 🙏. Aim small miss small

Nice shooting. I have the Savage A17 and shoot pretty well with it but you definitely have me beat.

Very nice rifle range you have there.

Speaking my language Mr Halfmile! I commented on the barrel cleaning video i ran across as i researched a solvent for my 17WSM. I heard a lot of negative Nancys when i was considering purchasing the WSM, but i had an HMR, and wanted to try it. I really enjoy that round. Ive been on Mr WTW to shoot one on his channel, but, i dont think he has one as of yet. Subscribed Mr. Halfmile!

I was hoping this would have generated a little more interest. I was contemplating shooting coins again but with my .308 instead of the mighty .17

love your homemade bench.

Shooting a single shot fluted bull barrel 17.with a Leopold 5 power red dot wide angle I was able to put bullets thu bullet hole at 100yards Shooting stingers. Absolutely the best deer killer I have ever seen. Head shots at 200 on run

I just found your video. I had done this same coin challenge last weekend with a quarter, nickel, penny and dime shooting a .223. I had shot the quarter twice because I thought the bullet would push the coin right through the card board. Both were solid hits. The nickel was a single shot and hit. Started having trouble on the penny, it took four shots to get a good hit on it. The dime I nicked on the first shot and third shot then drilled it with the fourth. I think I'm going to try it again with my .17 HMR soon.

I tried lots of different rounds in my Anschutz 1727. It loves the CCI TNT and will consistently shoot half inch 4-shot groups at 100 yards. Five consecutive groups measured .35 .36 .65 .72 .56 CTC. Three of the groups could be covered with a dime. Hornady VMax are a close second. The 17HMR is very accurate but sensitive to the wind. The trick is to send the rounds down range as fast as possible before the wind changes. The Fortner actions lets me send the 4 rounds downrange before I take a second breath. I was shooting prone with a bipod and a rear leather bag. The only problem is that I cannot blame the rifle when I miss!!

Good shooting.

Let's do this again. I just now found this one as I was watching some of your's I'd not seen. I've got the Henry .17 varmint lever action and got her settled in as well as mostly narrowing down the ammo. It's not as accurate as your bolt but I've got in at moa mostly Thanks for the specs and data on your vids.

I have to say awesome/beautiful shooting bench you should make a saddle bag set up to hold drink brass tools what ever. Love shooting my 17hmr even though I have Nikon sccope on it as well and it's a heavy barrel I'm pretty sure I can't shoot as well as you. Not enough trigger time in the past decade. Thanks for the video

I have a 93r17 with a stainless bull barrel and it is a tack driver, prolly the most accurate rifle i own.

I have a 17HMR by Mossberg. I love this rifle and the caliber. I should try this coin shoot with some ‘pesos’ I have.

I have the pleasure of being the first comment. I would be happy if I could shoot as well as you my friend. The hit on that buffalo was sweet. I'm a fan of the 17hmr but, we can only shoot as good as the factory ammo allows. Nicely filmed with no padding or nonsense. Looks like a lovely range. All the best from the UK. Frank

I love that challenge… i can do that with air rifle… nice shots sir…

I had a uncle that could shoot the primer out of a shot gun shell at a 100 yards with a 22lr. He was a dead eye with his old winchester single shot.

Any chance I can get the plans or post the video of your shooting bench? I need that and it's beautiful. I've had a lung removed which they took a couple of ribs with them and prone just won't do and I had cement shooting benches. I love building stuff even though I'm not a skilled carpenter. I'll get it looking like a new penny but it takes about 3 times as long because I also have a bit of ocd. If you can post it thanks and if you can't, that's ok as well. I just found your channel so I've got some catching up to do.

Will it count if I recreate that with a Daisy Powerline .177 at 40 yrds?

Nice shooting! You'd make a great ventriloquist:)

Get a Cricket vinyl cutter and shoot stickers. Shooting coins just seems wrong. I must have been raised different.

I seen clint eastwood shoot an apple stem at 100 yards with a pistol, from the hip. Not the apple. The STEM.

Can't buy anything with $0.41 these days. May as well use 'em for target practice. I remember complaining about gas going up to $0.41 a gallon back in the day...who'dda thunk it? 😬

Five eighths lol! Nah ..I think it's more like 67-128ths.... Roughly

Not quite as good as you, but with my Savage 93R17 I took a coyote at 90+ paces (clean head shot). Nice precision.

I have a Marlin 17V bull barrel and I got a beaver at a 100

Can you give me the dimensions of your table? Would love to build one.

What ammo where you using

I wonder why nobody has necked down a .223 - .17😮

Now fast forwarding don’t count as running Halfmile lollllll

A 150m a una monenda le das sin mucho esfuerzo

I’ve taken a lot of money from guys at the range that swore I couldn’t hit a dime with my first shot from the .17 at 100 yards. It’s almost too easy...

Don vergas puso monedas mexicanas , mira que riata

I counted 50 steps not 100

which ammo were you using

Why you shooting mexican coins?

THIS EXERCISE WOULD CARRY MORE CREDIBILTY If WE COULD SEE THE FINISHED RESULTS RATHER THAN THE SHOOTERS 'OPINION'

WARNING! A poor choice for a bench! No solid stability. Okay for a rimfire maybe, but don't use for centerfire calibers that generate significant recoil.

I shoot .17 brass at 100yrds. A quarter is child’s play. Wtf. The round is much better than what your doing.

sorry, that can't be 100 yrds, looks more like maybe 75

what a waste of quarters

You wouldn’t wanna share the plans for you’re table would you?
