[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1925810, member: 78569"] I'm a 17 HMR fan. Almost never shoot the 22 anymore. I've shot lots of game with the 17 from coyotes on down. I take the 20 grain bullets with me for coyotes as they penetrate better. They pass through on clean broadside shots under 100 yards. The 17 grain poly tips for everything else. For badger, I've heard guys having a hard time with penetration of the 17 grain bullets on badger heads. Personally, I've not been able to shoot one but most of the time I see them, only their head is out of the hole and looking right at me. [/QUOTE]
