[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1925830, member: 78569"] I have shot the 17HMR 20 grain SP, 17 grain FMJ, 17 grain hollow points into a ballistic block that was 18" long . The FMJ punched a .17" hole clean through. Would not recommend for hunting unless its brain shots only. For small rabbits like cotton tails, I body shot will mess up the pelt with the poly tips. Their skin is like tissue paper. I've shot larger hairs, jackrabbits, and marmots in the torso with the 17 grain and they don't pass through. [/QUOTE]
