it's a bad little round, just don't shoot ballistic tips, they blow up into a hundred little pieces when they hit bc of the velocity. Use a good ol' jacketed lead bullet. knocks a coon out just as good or better than a .22. They are just a little loud.

it a great round.
i would try both hollow point from CCI and hornady polymer tips. hornady makes a 17 gr poly tip and a 20 gr. hollow point. both have worked great for me but i prefer the 20 gr. out of my savage.

I would imagine a 17 could be too much for a coon. It might rip a good hole in the hide. I knocked em out with a 22mag for a while, but it was too much too.

Now if I lived in Iowa or Wisconsin and had a chance to bust a 30 pounder, I might pack a little extra heat! around here a biggun weighs about 15 or so.

I WENT TO TWO DIFFERNT HUNTING STORES IN MY AREA TODAY LOOKING AT AMMO, GANDER MT HAD HORNADY 17 FOR 19.99 AND 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD A LOCAL HUNTING STORE HAD THE SAME SHELLS FOR 12.99, GANDER MT IS STARTING TO MAKE ME MAD WITH THOSE AMMO PRICES.
