.17 HMR for turkey
 

Anyone use a .17 HMR on turkey? If so do you use the 17 grain v-max or the heavier 20 grain bullet?

Well I hunt in Iowa, so I cannot shoot turkeys with a rifle. But, I do have a .17 HMR, and have blown rabbits in half with the 17 grain harnady V-Max, if it blows a rabbit in half, it should a kill a turkey.

I had a sick turkey last night. I shot it in the neck with my .17 HMR, CCI 20 gr. bullet. DROPED IT!!!
