Anybody shot a turkey with a 17HMR? I've always been of the mind that if I can't call 'em close enough for a shotgun, I don't deserve them...I was just wondering where you've hit them, how the performance has been, and if there was meat damage. Also, which bullet to use. Currently I am shooting the Hornady V-Max's and they shoot pretty well.

Before you ask...it is legal where I hunt.

Thanks!

BTW...I did some "penetration tests" with my 17 and some phone books, 2x4's and other things. Scary how little penetration this caliber gets. It makes sense...but still scary. Maybe with a little more solid bullet it would be different.
