Good point, I do headshots with the 17 HMR rifle but with the handgun at long distances I shoot for the shoulder.sagebrush said:I haven't seen any thing else around, but you can always shoot for the head.
Thanks, I didn't know they made 17 HMR hollow points.ChaserOfAllBirds said:My buddy sometimes shoots hollow points but that would probably be worse
Not a bad idea, thanksLoke said:Try the 20 grain bullets. From what I understand, they are a little tougher than the 17s, and the lower velocity should help some, too.
Good point, I'm thinking of;Frisco Pete said:I would try the new CCI HMR GamePoint 20-gr. for less explosiveness.
I think that it needs to be noted here that Polymer-tipped bullets like the V-Max are actually hollow points with a plastic tip inserted as an expansion initiator (and to streamline the bullet some). The TNT is a hollowpoint without the initiator. HPs may have erratic expansion properties because they rely on hitting the flesh to initiate expansion. If the HP get plugged up or something, expansion may not occur as well. The polymer tip does away with all that, but is more expensive.
