.17Mach 2 effective range?

Used to love this guys channel years ago, not sure if hes still at it. Beautiful countryside.

How is the Hm2 ammo availability? I do not shoot my HMR much at all anymore, different lots vary widely in accuracy. I can do what I need with 22 LR and silence it as well.
 
plenty ammo listed on ammo seek ,about 15 cents/ round.

I think there’s a big difference in sound if thats a factor. I shoot in a neighborhood.
 
I got a CZ-452 in .17 HM2 and have used it exclusively on GH's around the house. Usually I shoot from a 2nd floor window to ensure a safe backstop. Don't have a head count, but all have been one shot instant kills. I have loaned it to friends and they experienced the same results. Ranges are usually 50 to 75 yards. Amazingly lethal to GH's when precise shot placement is made.
 
75 yards would be my self imposed limit. I shot a few chucks with one many years ago when I owned a Marlin. 17 HMR is better but still not all that recommended (killed 50 or so with one). I would go with a centerfire if possible. My 17 Ackley Bee and 17 Remington are so much more effective.
