Impressed...Again


Recommended Posts

Well once again my Marlin 17hmr has pleasantly suprised me. We have had a pack of wild dogs harrassing our horse this week, and I shot one in the face with my paintball gun, but it didn't keep them away, and last night I had to dispose of one. I shot him right behind the shoulder from around 40-45 yards away with the 17 gr. CCI TNT bullet. He yelped, ran 10 yards, and tumbled. I walked up to him and was shocked. The bullet had penetrated all the way thru the chest and came out the other side, leaving a 3" exit wound. It looked like he had been hit with a 30-06! I wasn't expecting that kind of penetration. And people claim it is too small for 'yotes.
