.17 HMR Ballistic Tip vs. Ground Squirrel
Who do you think won the above exchange?
It was extremely windy when I shot this video yesterday, and I didn’t realize until I went to process it that it’s shaky. I’m surprised, since it was on a tripod at the time, but, all is not lost, because the video still shows what a Hornady 17 grain ballistic tip bullet will do to a squirrel at around 100 yards.
I was worried that the 17 hmr ballistics wouldn’t give me the “pop and flop” that the .204, .223 and the 22-250 do, but for it’s price range, bullet weight and speed, it does a “right fine” job of putting sage rats to sleep.
