Default RE: Savage in 17 HMR?

I was using the CCI V max in 40 grains. Groups 2" at 100 whcih is why I didn't go for a head shot. The Turkey took to rouds to the sweet spot. Then he flew away. I watched where he went down into the trees and I waited 10 minutes. I approached quietly and could hear him flapping about in the bruch. I found him 300 yards away from where I first hit him. I pulled out my ruger .22 and gave him the coup de grace in the head to finish him.
Maybe I should opt for something in ,204 ruger?
