AJ Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Re: 17 hmr gamepoint? They are made by CCI. Here is their web page. Basically, it is a thicker jacketed bullet for the .17 cal. It's designed to mushroom not frag like a varmint bullet. It looks interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil hunter Posted January 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Re: 17 hmr gamepoint? So if I used those, would it make the 17hmr a better caliber for squirrel hunting? Or should I just stick with the 20 gauge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] If you are interested in obtaining a .17 rimfire rifle that you can use for Squirrel Hunting as well as close range varmint hunting then I suggest the .17 HM-2. Other than that, as always, a regular .22 LR will do the job without dammage to the meat. Your 20 gauge is a good shotgun for Squirrels loaded with #5 shot.

lil hunter Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Re: 17 hmr gamepoint? I wasn't really planning on using it for squirrel hunting. It is a little too powerful. Thats why I asked if the gamepoint would work on squirrels without ruining the meat too badly. I am mainly gonna use the 17mr for shooting papaer, but will also use it on crow,fox, and coyote. I'll stick with the 20 gauge for treerats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
