Soft point for 17 HMR
I been shooting yotes with my 17 HMR.. I notice that once I get out to 175 yrds to 200 the bullet does more damage and drops them faster.. I am taking it is because the bullet has slowed a bit and mushroomsa bit moreat these distance to do more damage in the eternals.. This is with the 20gr cci game point.. Does the 17 make a soft point without the jacket that anyone knows of?
I did a test with a 55 gal plastic jug filled with water.. When I shot it with the 17 hmr it didn't flatten past the copper coating? But I did the same with 22 soft and copper coated.
And the copper coated 22 did not mushroom either past the copper.. I tried a lead 22 and it mushroomed quit nicely.. I did have a few that did frag but most did mushroom considerable amount compared to the copper coated..
