    cutting a barrel?

    .17 hmr- lots of power in a little package?

    what is the most impressive results you guys have had with this round. mine would probaly be that i went through a oil drum with the lid stuck in the top for a total of 3 layers of 1/16 steel. ive even had trouble putting a axe through 1 layer of the drum. so i was very impressed.

    ive done this to a few round by just simply biting and pulling the tip out with my teeth. i was wondering if the lack of a tip would cause the huge hallow point of the .17hmr to simply pass through with less expansion or would it have the effect of making the bullet expand more rapidly. would...
