Shot the 17M2 Sportster today at 50 & 100yds. When the wind wasn't blowing, shots at 50yd were touching, but the 5-10mph wind opened the groups up to 1/2-3/4". At 100yds the groups with no wind were 1/2-5/8" and 1.25-1.5" with wind. It's way more affected by wind than the 17hmr due to the lower velocity, way fun to shoot, though. NEF Sportster 17M2 w/Simmons ATV scope, Raynor trigger job.
