[QUOTE="Serenity Bushcraft, post: 953994, member: 8852"] With my test I just want to make sure that everyone understands that the little 17gr 17HMR has very little punch past 150 to 200 yards. I am simply trying to prove or disprove that you can accuratly hit targets to 400 yards and that the results are repetable. Small fast things slow down very quickly and as the velocity drops so does its potential energy. For small (like crow small) I would keep all my shots inside of 175 yards. For anything larger I would attempt to keep the shots inside of 100 yards. The data that I am posting is simply for punching holes in paper or ringing a steel plate. If you want to hunt with this round at extended ranges then you will be responsible for the wounded animal. As this test progresses I will attampt to do some penetration tests at extended ranges. However, that data is going to have to wait for some warmer weather. CHEERS, notasniper [/QUOTE]
