Newsportshooter Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 They do make a mess with anything other than head shots - good for humane killing ( not that the 17 grain dont do the job ). use to use them and might revert considering the ammount of uber hares I come across where I shoot... In fact that reminds me I gave a few to another member on here and I dont think he used them (might have to ask for them back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 the 20 gr TNTs? What range were you shooting at? I used to use them since that's what my gun liked. On hares and rabbits head shot, there was no real difference, though if you put a light body shot on at 100+ you'd get an entrance and exit hole with the exit not much bigger. thanks rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooter Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I was using 20 grain hollow points CCI The 20grn were design to go in a bit before breaking up, somthing to do with coyotes, so on small game they normally go straight through. But try some of the 20grn BT for head shooting rabbits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 cooter, there is no 20 gr BT for the HMR. The 20 gr BT is for the centerfires (that's my bullet in the AH). The 20 gr HP is the TNT bullet. There is a separate small game bullet that was out for a while. It was a 20 gr soft point.

Vermincinerator Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) ..........The 20 gr HP is the TNT bullet. Thanks Rick Do Speer manufacture the 20grn bullet specifically for the 17HMR?
