The artical seems very good. I just skimmed through for now and read what caught my eye. I wish he would have compared the 17 HMR to a 22 mag instead of the 17HM2.From what i read it seems that my17 HMR will be a better choice for squirrells if i use hollow poin ammo.They seem to stay together and would do less meat damage to the animal.I guess im going to find somewhere to go shoot some varmints andsee how much damage the hollow points actually do on an animal.
