Hey all,
I recently picked up a new Savage 17HMR R17, stainless with a thumbhole stock. I have been looking around for a good squirrel round in the 17 HMR.
I would primarily be using the gun for garden protection, but also would like to take it down for "squirrel fest" in Washington county this fall with some family. I have read head shots are usually warranted to salvage any meat. I have been looking to the CCI 20 grain FMJ, and the Hornady 17gr Vmax. I am wondering if it really makes that much of a difference if I will be just concentrating on head shots? Let me know if you guys have any experience or thoughts with this. Thanks
