.17 hmr bullet question

[Reit38]

i have a savage .17 hmr with a bull barrel and a bsa sweet .17 scope mounted on it. ive got it sighted dead on at 100 using 17grain bullets. ive been thinking of trying the 20grain bullets but didnt know how much it would change my scope, since the scope is mage for .17grain shells.??

The bullet will hit low about 2 1/2-3" at 100 yards.

My savage hits the same with both at 100.

I should have prefaced what I said with the ballistic information shows the difference. I have always shot the 17 grain V-Max and have no actual experience with the 20 grains.

so what is the difference really between the 2? is there going to me more damage then the other? im hoping for a little bit more damage but dont want to give up im long range accuracy
