21 Sharps - Waste of time?

[nf-fuse]

Aren't there any copper .17 bullets available?

Yes . You can get 17hmr and 22lr in copper AFAIK.

Lead free .22lr ammo isn't accurate and neither is lead free .21 sharp from what I've read. Also, no subsonic ammo available for .21 sharp. Only four loads available and three of those aren't lead free anyway. Not sure I'm getting the point of the sharp... See what I did there...?

I don't know if subsonic is as popular in the USA as it is here. A lot of them don't or can't use mods like in the UK.

But yeah the point is still to be seen fully.

Moderators or suppressors are becoming much more widespread in the states and from what I can gather so is subsonic ammo.

Winchester have dropped a big booboo like the 17 WSMR. That should of been a .22 or .25.

In US they need a special permisson to have a suppressor and pay a 200$ tax. So they want a supressor who can take a larger number of shots , for semi auto use and to move it between rifles for many years. More expensive and more fuzz to buy it than a rifle.

pay a 200$ tax

Peanuts to many many Americans.

Yes but they dont like the extra government control.

In the 1930s it was also 200$ similar prices as a new rifle

None of us do!

I think the Trump administration has ended that 200 dollar tax the other issue is not all states will allow you to hunt with moderator.

That was a bit of a cutting remark.
