    .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.

    ballistic tip removal.

    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...

    .22 WMR vs. 17 HMR

    so which do you guys think is better .22wmr or .17hmr. i say the .17 because of the higher mv and higher accuracy on small targets. yet on larger targets i feel the .22 would probaly have more probability of putting it down first shot.
