I shot 300rds of the CCI Poly Tips last week in NC andit made a believer
out of me! Now I know it will take yotes!

Good Job! I'm glad you posted your picture, cause there's pepole that
are still skeptical on the little bullet for yotes.

By the way , I was shooting a Savage!

Great hog. I have personaly taken three song dogs with my marlin 17hmr. The first went ten feet and sat down the other two fell over. first was about 120 yds the other two were 100 and closer. Great round. NO EXIT! the CCI exploded where I placed it and went lust like I have expected.

i own the marlin bull barrell bolt action 17hmr its unbelivable i shoot all small game with it als coons and other furbearing animals shot a coon at 50 yrds knocked it dead out of the tree and no exit wound the round went in its neck and exploded inside its chest the fur had no blood on it and you could not find the entrance hole if you didnt know were it was
i herd some mixed things abou the 17 mach 2 think the hmr is better
