A & M's testgroups with a light Sako sporter measur edfr om slightly und er .400 to only slightly over.An obvious difference was noted in th e accuracyattained with bull ets of differentmakes. Since Ted Holm es' bull ets have becomeavailable in limited quantities, th eyhave been largely used for test purposes.Any car tridge which will consistentlygroup under one-half an in ch is certainly accurate enough for varmint shooting, whi chis th e sole intend ed purpose of the 17 javelina.When loaded to a velocity of 3600 Ips(25-grain bullet, 21 grains of powd er ) , thiscartridge ha s sufficient remaining velocity at100 yards to bul ge the back of a %" steelplat e. At 50 feet, th e plate is cleanly pierced.Considerably less testin g ha s been donewith th e 17 A & M, fewer rifles ha ve beenbuilt , and so less definite results are available.Th e load ordinarily used is 12.5 gra insof 4227 which develop s 3450 fps with th e 25­gra in projectile. It app ears tha t th e 17 A &M has definite value for use with singleshotaction s, and will give results comparablewith those of th e 17 J avelina.Th e 17 Ja velina has been used in man yjackrabbit hunts, and hit s were made up to325 yards, with deadly results. When tried onOhio chucks one summer, six were kill ed andnot one moved out of its tra cks aft er bein ghit. All were hit in the forwa rd part of th ebody at ran ges up to no yards, longer shotsbein g impo ssibl e beca use of undergrowth.Th e same result s have been obtain ed withprairie dogs, coyotes and even a 200-poundbear. In every case, ju st one shot was required,and a hum ane kill was obtained uponimpact.Prescott 's gun specialists have built manywildcat gun s from th eir whopper .475 Ma g­num down to their little 17 J avelin a.
