hawkeye Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Nick Do 17hmrs rounds ricchochet as i'm putting a case together to approach plod with and i'm not up to speed with this guns potential at the moment. deadeye I have a .17hmr and use ballistic tips and they do not richochet in fact the local plod would rather you use this instead of.22 as they reckon it is a safer round.

sussex lad Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 As Mike has said 99% of plod prefer this round Ive had my .17 hmr for a 1 1/2 years now and havent had a riccchochet yet and ive put about 1500 rnds through it so far! It is a great bunny tool but, and this is the only but is the noise!! I have a PES on mine which does a great job but it still a heck lot noiser than a moderated rimmy. So what i guess i am saying is that the .22 and the .17hmr have their places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we talking a similar noise to when you shoot a high velocity round down a silenced .22 rimfire?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally dont think it is as noisey as say a springer airrifle with out a silencer on. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussex lad Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 More like a rimmy using subs no mod. Lay of the land has alot to do with it the way sound bounces around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
