.17 FMJ

just read on other forum that cci have come up with a HMR in FMJ 20grns. Good if your shooting for the table. But think it will definatly be head shots or they will just pass straight through.

 

Just a thought to all with more experience.... wouldnt they be allot more prone to bounce all over the place Ric O'shay

Hmm, interesting, I wouldnt have thought that it would ric o'shay as its going quite fast and surely would just squish on impact? Or at least that is my experience using .223 fmj . Anything will bounce given the right conditions, some are just more prone to it than others.

I have considered trying HP in 20grain but prefer V-Max for its stopping power. I cant see me trying FMJ particularly CCI if their subs are anything to go by.

a balistic tip is much more likely to break up if you hit a rock etc... in the ground. a FMJ is more likely to go wizzing into the next county and hurt someone.

 

not to mention any botched shots are more likely to be lethal with a balistic tip.

That was my first thought. Nick ......were's it goin to land?

at least with the BTHP its going to break up if it contacts almost anything around a missed target
