RE: .17hmr vs. 17. mach 2
Not at all. The only thing I STRONGLY recommend is that you hit them in the head ONLY with these, and only use the ballistic tips for squirrel (HP bullets will get the job done, but they won't expand properly on something so small). If you hit them below the neck, you can forget using any meat from the front half of the body, but if you only go for the back legs and backstraps, I guess you wouldn't have that problem.
