CCI 17 HMR FMJ bullets
« on: July 31, 2006, 05:13:36 AM »
Anybody used this on any vermin yet?
Bullet seems to Yaw violently on impact in wet newspaper
and flatten out some from top to bottom.
No explosive impact but good penetration.

accuracy is equal to the polymer tip bullets!
Penetration is excellent In various things I have shot so far.
No game yet, But I hope to get a chance soon on whatever
is stealing my brothers chickens!

Thats why I never go over there any more.  One guy bragging about 100 yard shots on 110 pound feral goats and another shooting a bear with 17HMR.  Enough is enough.

It's just like anywhere else on the net, take whatcha can glean from those that offer good info and ignore the rest, there are a lot of very immature young shooters there, but there are also a lot of very experienced shooters there, a lot of them that post here also, no reason to cut your nose off to spite your face. ;)
