I think you need to fix your optics or how you shoot. Looks like to me your “flyer” was the only round that found the target, unless you were aiming for a specific square outside of the centers. The weapons are precise but the shooter must provide the accuracy. And looks like small game are safe from you at 50+ yards. They don’t get away from me at 100 meters with a .22. If I had a .17, I be laying them down @ 150-200 meters all day long. Also, dump the SFP scopes and go for FFP and higher magnification, like 24 or even 36. Less math equals less stress and with more zoom, smaller targets at greater ranges.
Thanks for watching! I've been so confused why people have been commenting about my poor shooting, but your comment finally made me realize why!
The scope on the gun is a temporarily setup for testing, so I didn't bother to properly zero it. When I am testing accuracy, I shoot groups to see what size I get. I don't care where they land on the paper. So, the bullseye doesn't matter to me, the shape of the group is the only important thing.
I apologize for not explaining that in the video, I assumed anyone who had done any target shooting would know what I was doing.
@@TheOldFatDadGoober Gotcha. Makes sense, but you should always put your best foot forward. It shouldn’t take 30min to mount and zero a scope w/ 2 rounds. Then you don’t get goobers, rednecks, gun nuts and Marines yanking your chain. 🤪
But I’m serious about the FFP optics. 🤓😉😎 You’ll thank me.
@@GryphonArmorer I should put my best foot forward. Shooting youtube videos makes you forget these things.
Almost all my scopes are FFP, they are really nice for target shooting. If you watch my video coming this Monday you'll see a few. I've recently moved some FFP scopes off my hunting rifles though. The SFP reticles are easier to see through the whole magnification range.
@@TheOldFatDadGoober
You don't need to apologise.
Bro is braging a lot but doesn't understand how to test the accuracy of a gun.
Most of us know what you did there.
Wow the ego on the this guy.....the Aussie is to nice . ARMS IS some dude in his mom's basement checking Bros penIs size.
The first time my dad and I took our Savage 17 out, we were shooting at paddle targets at 100 yards or so. We couldn't get it zeroed after a few mags, so we walked down to the target and found several tiny holes. The bullets were passing through the 1/4" steel without moving them or even making enough noise to hear.
Thanks for watching! You've got to be careful with the 17, it's a different kind of beast!
I have a VERY hard time believing the 17hmr will penetrate 1/4" steel. Just sayin'....
@@jeffreynye3019 Imagine my dismay...
@@Onnabote wtf does that mean?
True, 17 did't penetrate all the way through, but that means it transfered all it's energy to the target, size of the cavity is pretty good. If you look at the size of the cavity at 50, you see the damage really. well, 22 did exit, but that means it still had some energy, 17 transfered all to the target.
Thanks for watching! That's one of the benefits of the 17 for sure.
It is one of my favorite calibers. I have a savage A17 and a mossberg love them both. Very accurate.
Thanks for watching!
It sure was interesting to see the 17 entering and also exit the clay in slow mo in the last shot. 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
The 17 is designed to explode on impact. Appreciate you show your missed shots and not wasting good food.
Thanks for watching!
22 if you want meat, 17 if you want to dispose.
Thanks for watching!
What about foxes and coyotes at within 100-150yards? Ive read 17 works well for that.
This is my favorite rimfire round. They are devastating and extremely accurate.
Thanks for watching! I kind of like it too.
Shouldt be more accurate than a 22wmr
@@olekarlsen8810 I have 22 mag marlin and 17 hmr savage I do better with 17hmr. Not saying that you can't out shoot me with your 22 mag but at 100 yards I can hit a egg every time from if I'm propped on something and 75 percent of the time free hand. I love 22 mag as well but for accuracy for me 17 hmr hands down is the winner. More penetration with 22 mag but alot more energy dump with 17hmr. Downside of 17hmr is if you hit one little vine or tiny branch bullet explodes. Every one has there preference if you have never shot one I highly suggest it.
I'm really glad you did this video. I've had that 17 for years one of my favorite rifles. Mines a Savage love it. Great job on the video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! Savage makes great rifles!
I use to hunt coyotes out of my barn loft. It was the perfect set up for wind and concealment overlooking a picked bean field . I remember shooting a female yote that I had called in and at 194 yards the 17 HMR passed completely through and she dropped where she was standing . Fantastic rifle and very accurate .
Thanks for watching!
@@TheOldFatDadGoober Thanks for the great video !
I've also headshot a 42 lb yote at 188 yds with a .17 20gr and it buldged the eyes out...they Def have some energy
You are giving me pause to rethink my desire for a .22 Mag bolt rifle. This is really impressive.
Thanks for watching! 22 Mag has it's benefits too. The 17 is very impressive though. Get both?
I have the Savage 93r17 and the Savage 93 in 22 WSM both great guns but for accuracy the 17hmr hands down but the WSM is heavier
Paul I am only buying a 22WMR because I have a PMR already but let me tell you a cool story about the 17HMR . 11 years ago my cousins son who was 12 yrso sat down my son who was 11 at the time behind his little cricket single shot 17 HMR. Within in 5 minutes he had Daniel {my son} trained, dialed in on that rifle and with a $40 Wal-mart Bubbble pack scope and they both hitting the HOG sized silhouette at 300 yards. Incredible confidence builder for a young shooter!!! No adult had ANY interactions with the 2; this was 2 boys having fun and doing something they had no idea how incredible or hard it would have been with even a good 22lr and super velocity ammo.
I've owned both, I kept the 17MHR due to its unbeatable accuracy.
I have a beautiful CZ heavy barrel 17 HMR. This summer I took a shot at some small game at 100 yards and dropped it like a rock. It’s quite the round. Good video.
Thanks for watching!
Here in Australia I've shot hundreds of foxes with my Savage .17HMR out to about 200y. It rarely fails me. I've eve shot a few smaller pigs with it. People think the .17HMR doesn't penetrate - mostly people who have little time in the field with it.
Thanks for watching!
You're a Savage killing innocent animals
@@jamesharris184 🤣
Your experiences compare with mine. I've shot coyotes out to 150 yards +/- and dropped them super quick...sometimes right where they stood, other times they have run up to a max of 40 yards before dropping. Shot placement is critical. Small game requires a headshot if you want to eat any meat...body shots make critterburger, or an Andy Warholesque decoration. I never hunt with a .22 anymore due to the amount of times I have placed a good shot and had the critter disappear somewhere to die an ugly death. If I shoot something, I want it dead, not wounded.
So , you can own a firearm in Australia? I thought they were banned, I seen thousands being sawed up for recycling. What gives
Hey buddy I don’t own a 17 but I’m fortunate enough to be able to shoot one now and then and not only are they devastating for the size I believe they are very accurate in the right hands, thanks for sharing I enjoyed it .
Thanks for watching! I was very happy with the accuracy test at the end of the video.
Thank you for your time to make this video. I'm considering a 17HMR vs a 22LR, not really for hunting. It's great that you show real damage on your targets for an easy introduction. We can all do (not me) math calculations for two more hours, not necessary, you provided enough of what we just needed to see. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Massive energy dump is better than penetration if you want clean kills, in my opinion. Great vid keep them coming 👍
Thanks for watching!
He'll yeah. Whatever goes out the other side is just wasted energy
Excellent video, my friend! I was/am looking at the Ruger Precision rifle you used to test with. Glad I found your video.
Thanks for watching! I'm very happy with the rifle.
The V-max round generally won't penitrate. It's designed to disintegrate on impact. A better comparison would be a 17hmr solid or a hollow point vs the .22. I've used V-max chambered for a .223 it's fantastic for varmint
Thanks for watching!
100%FACTS👍👍👍
The 22 will always have more penetration cause of the type of bullets. The 17 is doing what it’s designed to do. Massive expansion. The 17 is more accurate also. I have a heavy barrel 17 you can shoot less than half inch at a hundred. Great small game rifle.
Thanks for watching!
The .22 bullets used in this comparison have good velocity but little to no expansion, it would have been better using something like CCI stingers which have a similar velocity but have good expansion.
I found the Aguila interceptor to be a very fast accurate bullet but for me they are not a good hunting bullet.
If coyotes are small game ? Its devastating what its capable of on them ! Also its relatively quiet,without a can on it too !!
Sure you can…. Post a video of those 100 yd 1/2 groups!
From videos I've seen, 17hmr makes groundhogs, chipmunks, and other small varmints explode. The results on these cans doesn't surprise me at all.
Thanks for watching!
TOFD G. Thanks, always a good and interesting video. Those .17's are moving on and do some nice damage. Nice shooting. Thanks again for sharing and take care.
Thanks for watching! I hope all is well on the farm!
@@TheOldFatDadGoober Thanks, we're doing well.
Cool, Always love your content! I’ve got the Savage B17 rifle, rotary mag, and a budget BSA scope. I can shoot a single ragged hole at 50 yards. Although probably not high quality, the BSA has 17hmr-specific turret adjustments, and parralax adjustment. It works fine.
Thanks for watching! I've heard good things about the BSA scopes.
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of this before n u are the first person I’ve ever heard talking about it so I absolutely #subbed
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the sub!
I remember the time when a friend of mine went ground squirrel hunting and he had a .17 rifle and scope. I had my old .22 iron sites and nail 23 grounds to his 15.
Thanks for watching!
This says less about the ammo and more about the shooter I think.
It’s a supersonic round. Very reliable small game gun! I love my 17hmr
Thanks for watching!
Got a Henry repeating 17 absolutely one of my favorite firearms. First firearm dad bought me gonna love to pass it on down generations
Thanks for watching! Sounds like a nice one!
Thanks Pop. I’ll be looking at that round in a whole new light.
It’s perfect for garden pesting where ricochet could be a concern. Don’t want to bounce one into the neighbor’s cows. That thing is like chucking a tiny hand grenade. Great vid.👍
Thanks for watching! Tiny hand grenade is the perfect description.
garden?? get an air rifle.
Compare the 17HMR with the 22WMR. That would be an interesting one, too! Awesome stuff
Thanks for watching! Gotta get the Skinny Young Lad back on for that!
Nice video man, and I wish I can soon seeing ads from videos you made! Keep up the good works! Love your videos
Thanks for watching!
Cool video, i just picked up today the Bergara BMR with the Carbon Fiber wrapped barrel in17HMR and i'm stoked, can't wait to hit the range and put some rounds thru it! 💥💥
Thanks for watching! Sounds like a good one!
Interesting results, I would love to see another head to head but between the 17 HMR and 22 WMR using the Hornady ballistic tips in both! 17 grain vs 30 grain
Thanks for watching! Gotta get the Skinny Young Lad out and do that.
I did a side by side of both rounds, HMR v. WMR, and chose the 22 WMR. It’s not as fast but it’s sufficient to take a coyote within 100 yards.
The 17 is a necked down 22wmr . I've ran that impericle test .interesting results tho , really depends if your pokin paper or claiming tails and game . That 22 magnums a wonderful round .
Great video. Great presentation. Great job. Thanks.
(Wish all shots could have been dead centered)
Thanks for watching!
LOVE my .17 HMR! Once you shoot a .17 HMR you'll never wanna shoot a .22 LR ever again. Awesome making Rabbits do Backflips from headshots at 80yds! Furthest Ground Squirrel so far has been 107yds. One of my first "tests" with it? I found an old spent 12ga cartridge out in the field and set it up on a log. Then walked back to a RangeFinder'd 80yds. Shot off those Qwik Stiks and sure enough! Hit it first try! Love the Hornady NTX 15.5gr loading! On Rabbits... one time taking a freehand shot at 60yds standing... I wanted to be more sure it'd hit so I allowed myself to drift more towards middle of body rather than the head/front shoulder region I usually do when setup on stix. The shot... quite literally... completely gutted him below the diaphragm and split open his pelvis!!! I was shocked! To anybody reading... seriously go out and get you a .17 HMR, you'll freaking love that thing!
Thanks for watching! The 17 is a great round!
But then you go to the store and pay 17hmr prices.
And like magic you plink some 22lr again 😉👍.
And keep the precious hunting shots for the 17 hmr 💥🐿️
Sorry to hear you're that level of "Broke-n-Po".
@Greyzonecompliant I only use the 17 for hunting in the winter when there's no cover .... I also use the 22 for plinking....
I use the 22 in the early fall and later spring
Shoot iron sites in early fall when there's still alot of cover
Nothing wrong with saving money 50 rounds of HMR is 20 USD 325 Rounds of 22lr is 22 USD
So the box of HMR is good for 50 squirells 22 LR is good all day at the range
That’s awesome dude lol, 17 HMR is awesome, but what’s still good about 22LR is if you use Mini mag cartridges and have a repeater rifle with a 15 round capacity, super fun and accurate
Nice video dude - I love this round!
Thanks for watching! It's a good one.
I was out shooting my 17 this weekend. My target was heavy paper tapped to a poster board. There was evidence the bullets started to fragment after hitting the paper with the poster board showing signs of lead fragmentation and larger holes. To me it seems if it hits a blade of grass, it turns into the equivalent of 22lr bird shot on impact.
Thanks for watching! That's interesting, I'll have to test how quickly it fragments.
Thank you, I have a savage A17 and I love it.
Thanks for watching! I've heard that's a good rifle.
Great video. I learned a lot about the 17. My gun is new and hasn't been fired yet so I didn't know what to expect. I have shot a 22 before but not the 17. Looks like it is very capable for long shots.
Thanks for watching! It's a great little round.
My savage 92 is an accurate little girl that loves groundhogs, not much bark but sure packs a punch.
The bark comparison to a 243 is tiny and great to use close to town. At 150yds the 17hmr flattens ghogs
Thanks for watching!
I converted my 10-22 to .177 because of a version of Einstein's equation E=MC2. What the .177 lacks in mass is compensated by speed. This is a good video.
Thanks for watching!
Kinetic Energy - (MV^2)/2 (unless you are shooting photons).
@@camgere "Darts" used as tank ammunition are relatively small but able to penetrate many centimeters of armor because of extremely high velocities. Dinosaurs would still be with us if the asteroid/comet had impacted earth at a slower speed. The video with the dog food cans, .22 v .177, illustrates the point. However, after demonstrating my 10-22 with a banana clip filled with photons moving at 186272 miles per second, it was still rejected by the USMC...sob. Well, back to 17 grains of dynamite.
Good shooting . Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
My dog was like HEY THAT'S MY DINNER WHATDAYAA DOIN!?!?
Thanks for watching! That there is for the coyotes.
The 17hmr with a 20g CCI FMJ will go through a 90lb wolf with no issue. Shoulder bone included. The FMJ doesnt poke a clean hole with no damage like the popular belief. Decent woulnd channel and kills dead, much better than any of the frangible bullets I have tried.
Good show.
Thanks for watching! I'm eager to try some FMJ when I can find them.
I have the savage b17 hmr topped with a pinty 6x24 scope at 50 yards it shoots one hole groups litteraly , amazing accuracy even out to 200 yds. thanks for this vid.
Thanks for watching!
Very good video, thank you very much 👍
your channel is really underestimated.
Thanks for watching!
Great little caliber. You should see what it does to squirrels. 👍🏻
Thanks for watching! I believe it will be quite a mess, pre skinned squirrel.
Awesome little cartridge. 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
Love the rim fires👍!
Thanks for watching! Me too.
Amazing little round
Thanks for watching!
I don't know why, but seeing how short the action on the bolt was gave me a chuckle, I don't know what I was expecting, but it was more than that.
Thanks for watching! It's a cute little gun. You can modify the bolt to give you a longer pull to replicate a center-fire round.
I have the ruger precision in 17 hmr and its my favorite rifle i own. Its stupid accurate at 100 yards. I can stack hits on top of each other on steel effortlessly. I hear a lot of people say it would not do anything significant to a human target..i beg to differ. Its so easy to place the shot accurately that head shots would be easy.
Thanks for watching!
I used to hunt squirrels with my 22 and got sick of getting a lot of crawl aways . Since I got my 17, none have the ability to crawl away because their heads looked like those cans of dog food.
Thanks for watching! The 17 is bad squirrel medicine.
I think that the 17 expanded inside the can before exiting whereas, the 22 was a clean pass through without expanding.
@@Titoscudd Thanks for watching!
What you have to remember is the 17hmr is a necked down 22mag, the speed is causing bullet to explode. I have never had much luck with the heavier bullet in 17hmr giving me good accuracy, when shooting groundhogs I prefer to use hollow point bullets. When hunting small game I will use the ballistics tip bullets, I still cannot believe the amount of movement that occurs after you shoot a squirrel through the head incredible. I love the accuracy of the 17hmr, but if you want a quiet stone kill no extra movement stick to 22lr in standard velocity bullet squirrels drop and don't make a lot of noise in leaves. Try comparing 17hmr 25 grain bullet against 22mag in 40 grain see how they compare in clay block also instead of ballistics tip use hollow point bullets
Thanks for watching! Sounds like a good idea for a video!
The .17gr ballistic tips are generally more explosive inside 100 yards, but outside 100 the 20gr hollow points do more explosive damage (because they carry more energy further out and still expand). I'm not sure when, but at some point that ballistic tip stops expanding before the hollow point does. I used to shoot pest birds with mine at 150-200 yards and the 20gr hp's still made them go "pop" at 200- the .17gr bt's did not...
Also wind deflection is better with the .20gr, and therfore accuracy is better at distance due to this if there is any breeze at all. And lastly, the 20gr will penetrate a little further in most cases.
But regardless, .17hmr is a small game and varmint cartridge, whereas .22wmr can take on a little bit bigger game due to the deeper penetration (small deer & small hogs). That's my 2 cents for the algorithm...
Thanks for watching! Definitely need to find some of the 20 grain rounds.
Nice work on your comparison videos! Those have been very fun to watch.
@@TheOldFatDadGoober Thanks, didn't know you were watching them. I'm still working on a video for you, just need to order a few things first...
@@BuckeyeBallistics I try to comment, but my video watching gets interrupted by kids most of the time.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Maybe a deer sized can of dog food to shoot?
@@TheOldFatDadGoober 😅 That would be awesome 😅
17 HMR is not designed to penetrate game, leaves all the damage inside carcass.
I love this round, stopped using .22 when this round came out.
Because it stays in target less chance of ricosha.
Thanks for watching!
I agree with Zach, I like the 20 grain version for “hitting power,” although the 17 might be a little more precise for target shooting.
Gotta find some now!
I prefer the heavier 20 grain too.
I have a 17Remington Centre fire with a very heavy barrel Sako and it’s a beautiful round, great for small game and also great on large game.
This 17HMR Video is perfect to show exactly what a smaller round can actually do.
Thanks for watching!
I was sitting here going wait the .17 hmr I shot was center fire. Lol.
Power is a combination of Speed & Mass.. Not just Speed.
Thanks for watching! You're right! Fortunately for the little 17, speed counts for way more than mass in the power equation.
In canada here. and i been thinking about grabbing a .17 HMR as soon as my license comes in.
not only is it cheap but they are great for rabbit which happens to be my favorite vermin
thats one awesome looking piece man!
Thanks for watching! It would be a great round for rabbit.
Thats exactly what you want is for the round to DUMP all of that energy when it hits!
Thanks for watching!
Ive got 2 moose with the 17hmr! Aim for under the ear, an theyll drop like a sack of potatoes! Right there is a soft spot in the head only skin, good brain shot.
Thanks for watching!
With my 17 I can shoot the primer out of a shotgun shell at 30 yards no problem. I was shooting olives off sticks at the same distance. Sweet 17 scope is perfect for that round of course
Thanks for watching! I've never tried the BSA scopes, but I've heard good things.
Rabbits and squirrels, head shots ONLY! Same for Groundhogs.
Body or shoulder hits are so destructive, they blow-up, no meat for eaten.
Thanks for watching! Good point.
Thanks for the vid- I have to put that .17 heavy barrel on my CZ .22 LR.
Thanks for watching! Give it a shot.
My pap loves his .17 hmr 🤘💀
Thanks for watching! It's a great round!
Fun little round
Thanks for watching! Yes it is.
That ain't dog food, that's beef stew from your local pokie!
Thanks for watching! I'm not sure I'd go back to a place that serves stew like this.
Yay for 17HMR !!!!!!
Amen!
Watching this i like the 17hmr ..Thank you for sharing 🦾
Thanks for watching!
CZ heavy barrel 17HMR crazy accurate at 100 yards with flat trajectory. An amazing rifle. A lot more accurate and useful than Ruger 10/22.
Thanks for watching!
17hmr is my favorite. I have a Ruger American Target and it's a tac driver. Don't use hollow points on squirrel or rabbit unless you can get headshots. There won't be anything left to eat. I shot a squirrel in the body and it literally exploded. Even in the body, FMJs will rock small game.
I can put a 5 round group in a quarter at 100 yards on calm days. With Hornady VMAX. Mine shots 17gr better than 20gr.
Thanks for watching! The 17 grains are looking great for me too.
I bought me a 17hmr when I was 12 it was the first gun I had ever purchased with my own money that day me and my dad went and took it out and shot some rimfire steel spinner targets out at 100 and they weren’t moving and he thought I was missing but upon walking down to the target there were holes clean through them we both were blown away
Thanks for watching! It's a potent little round.
I always tell them girls it's not about the size. Small things can take their breath away.😆🤣
Thanks for watching! Big enough to get the job done! 😮
Nice shooting range you made yourself.
Thanks for watching! I like it.
Try to get your hands on some of the hornady xtp or cci game point 20 grain. (Same projectile) they are more like a traditional soft point hunting bullet and they stay together much better in every test I have done. They tend to want to mushroom rather than fragment.
Thanks for watching! I'll hunt some down.
Awesome video!! 17hmr CCI hollow tips have a lil better penetration, ballistic tip do way more damage though. Only speaking from my hunting experiences.
Thanks for watching!
This guy is a super duper detailing his videos in a manner of accuracy, I believe this guy is next to hickory 45 in presenting their videos..I am very impressed...
Thanks for watching!
LMAO
Hickok is the man
We used to hunt ground hogs at that distance w/.17 HMR. We finally figured out the round was entering the BACK of the head ..which means little huckle nuts seen the round coming!
Thanks for watching!
The difference between the rounds is crazy. 17 hmr is a ballistic tip ammo the 22LR is a standard round nose or flat nosed round without the ballistic tip
So it could definitely have a difference in explosive power on impact
Thanks for watching! I agree, I the video did a good job confirming that too.
The 17 doesn’t ricochet from my experience. But a .22 will. Anything the 17 hits it destroys. Had to dispatch chickens several times, no exit wound and zero shrapnel but destroys what it hits quickly and efficiently. One of my favorite rounds. Please review your second shot with the 17, your entrance and exit were opposite of what you called out. Exit was the larger hole in the can, entrance was the smaller side.
Thanks for watching! I get the exits and entrances mixed up, thanks for pointing it out.
I've seen ballistics gel videos and the .17 just explodes within the first few inches whereas the 22mag goes straight through
Got a17 hmr, brilliant gun.
Thanks for watching!
I have the ruger m77 stainless varmint 17hmr with a stirling targetmaster scope. Same hole all day at 50 and half inch at 100yds. We shoot flies for fun on quiet days lol
Thanks for watching! Sounds like an awesome rifle.
First time I heard of the 17hmr was in a war novel. The guy takes out a guard with it.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for another educational video, still wondering about the penetration at 100 yards compared to the .22 WMR.
Thanks for watching! We'll have to get the Skinny Young Lad back on for that test.
Not a bad idea. I'm a huge 17hmr fan but always open to the truth
Love the 17hmr,thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Liked this video. I'd like to see a head-to-head with the .17hmr and the. 22tcm.
Thanks for watching! The 22 TCM is a really interesting round. It's also hard to get ammo and firearms chambered in it. I think it's been abandoned.
MY Favorite round 17hmr
Thanks for watching! Great round.
17M2 is crazy too. It’s all shot placement.
I've heard good things, never shot one though.
Have taked shots with 17hmr up to 250 meters.
Still enough accurate to do reliable hits to 0.5L soda bottle on that distance. Of course wind will play a role on those distances.
But hits for water filled cola bottles split opening on back and bullets digged themselves inside of three trunk behind of bottles.
So yes definelty my go to caliber for small game hunt.
Thanks for watching! It's an awesome little round.
Impressive.
Thanks for watching!
The .17 Hmr was a necked down .22 mag and the .17 hm2 is a necked down.22 lr
Thanks for watching!
Interceptor solid point or HP? Would be cool to see a Stinger as well. Would be closer in cavities.
Thanks for watching! Solid interceptors.
What bipod are you using?
I like that type of mounting
Thanks for watching! It's an Amazon bipod. Search for Mlok bipods.
I think the modeling clay should be done over. Glancing shots removed a lot of material on the side and gave the 2nd shot easier ability to go through due to a "thin wall". The .17 Glancing shot could have been a lot different with a center shot. Just like with the 100yd shot with .17 was at top edge and hardly did anything, but the 2nd shot blew the can apart because its centered. There are different forces and resistance on the surrounding material. A glancing shot allows the edge to blow out easy with the energy concentrated on blowing out the path of least resistance, while the side with more material is able to resist the forces trying to expand on that side. I think to get more accurate results, the shots have to be exact center for every shot, otherwise each shot is completely different depending on shot placement
Thanks for watching! I'll probably do a follow-up video sometime soon.
I have 17 HMR. 15, 16 17, and 20 grand Rounds I’ve had friends use it on coyotes out to 500 yards and make a kill shot at about 550 the bullet blue up nice big patch of her off left some raw skin but it impacted evidently on a rib and just blew some for her off and a coyote ran away. No blood trail so haven’t done it myself but that’s what I’m told.
Thanks for watching! 500 yards is quite a long shot for this round.
I love the 17HMR! I own a Mossberg 17. On the comparison, you should compare the 17HMR round to a 22 mag, not a LR round.
Thanks for watching! Got that video here:

Thank you sir!
My son bought him and I matching Marlin 917 VRX with the bull barrel . What a tack driver . We were getting five shot groups you could cover with a dime at 100yds .
He dropped a coyote with his and you could put your fist through the exit Wound .
Good vid
I shoot weihrauch in both 17hmr & 22lr and tbh i find the 22lr with subsonic ammo great for close up shooting but i have to go to cci mini mags to have some fun... the 17hmr is just sublime compared to the 22lr.. the round is a wolf in sheeps clothing for its size its dynamite plus very accurate at long range... this is my go to rifle.... unless its the flying prey then shotgun is probably the best fun to be had.
Thanks for watching!
How is the sound with the suppressor? I'm guessing most of the sound comes from the supersonic crack.
Thanks for watching! Yes the sound is mostly the crack. It's quieter than center fire but louder than a 22 by a good bit.
Have you tried either the 20 grain bullet Hornady XTP or CCI FMJ?
Thanks for watching! I haven't. Ammo has been scarce around here, but I'm working on grabbing some.
It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it.
Thanks for watching! That's what I tell my wife! She says I'm not that great at using it either though...😱
