Only suggestions I might have is to stick with headshots inside of 75 yards if your intention is to keep the meat. As that little ballistic tip bullet can be devastating at the shorter ranges. Beauty of that little bullet in that HM2 round is that it can be extraordinarily accurate making your 150-yard shotslittle surprise tome. Though my experience is Velocity spreads may prevent reliable accuracy in excess of 150 yards due to elevation variation. Windage can be a trick as well as ranges exceed 125 yards IME.
If you have found a more consistent lot of ammo, more power to you.

Summer B4 last I was surprised at how accurate a Marlin 17 HMR rifle could be. On a few calm summer days I was able to be successful at 1 out of 3 shots, shooting flies at 125 yards. Little bug-gars don’t sit still very long.

That little ballistic tip bullet did not leavemuch for the table though
