Anyone shooting .17HMR

[mx'r]

I'm gonna make some prarie rats die this week and was wondering what the best ammo is for game. I think the 3rd turkey season is in as well and wouldnt mind taking one with the 17. I've got Hornady 17gr ballistic tip, and 17gr FMJ. which is gonna make'm die faster? Maybe this should be in the hunting forum???

I got a .17, and use cci tnt ammo, if you need some help let me know, I would greatiously pay for your ammo, with the ability of me being able to shoot p-dawgs

I think a have a few boxes of that as well. Will it penetrate a turkey though? I'm doing the shooting in Kansas. Not too many people are willing to make the drive. I do know a guy in Limon though...Maybe one day over the Holliday break, we can go do some killing.

I have found the Hornady brand ammo to be the most accurate and consistent. I like the 17gr.

What kind of rifle?

Savage with bull barrel and accu-trigger. Shitty synthetic stock, shitty glass, Harris bi-pod. Looks ok, shoots great.

Damnit.. 17gr TNT jacketed hollow points dont do a damn thing to a body shot on a turkey! The p-daws hate them though.
