Caliber questions
Quote:
They are OBVIOUSLY N O T the same cartridge. The lady on the phone was/is a beurocratic idiot and a shill. A .17hmr HMR has much in common with a 17AH as a .22WMR 33grvmax load does with a 55gr vmax .223" Remington. I want to see that lady try to fire a 17AH in a 17hmr and then tell me that they are the same. |

I'd Like to see that, too....but from a significant distance!

a similar problem
Wally,
By the way, I have had some fun coming up with a reliable load for the same purpose as yours in this thread. I can say that due to the pressures, and the friction of a .172" caliber jacket on the walls of the bore that without proper friction reduction it is generally certain that you only get one to three shots with subsonic loads before MV gets inconsistent. I have had a couple solutions to this, which will follow, some of these I have used, while the others I have only had thoughts on. 1.) Don't use a load that is extremely subsonic, i.e., below 800 fps, instead stop trying to do something technically complicated at least with a jacketed bullet.My solution is to shoot a lot less, ignore the squirrels, and feed them instead to the point they are too fat to move faster than the feral cats and the fox around me. We don't have enough bunnies to worry about, though we have had the occasional sneaky armadillo. FOR SOME REASON NONE OF THESE IMAGES THAT I POSTED BELOW HERE ARE VISIBLE IN MY BROWSERS. 30gr. Kindler Gold, 36.5gr, FMJ and 32gr N.O.E. 32gr NOE result: Accuracy of the .172" 32gr NOE has been very adequate at 50 yards: Expansion at 1005 FPS of the pure lead projectile: Last edited by 17tbs; 01-15-2017 at 02:20 AM. Reason: Trying to see why my photos did not post on here. |

I have watched multiple videos of Brits whacking them with 12 ftlb. air rifles, so I think you have a good plan. I would think a 20 grain Vmax would work well.

Slower
Pulling the vmax tip out of a 20gr .172"HNDY VMAX creates a very effective. 172"HP, if you fill that with a stiff hard wax it creates a fairly explosive HP that will not over penetrate even at lower velocities.
I have a question for the board monitors/owners/operators, why can't I see any or all of my descriptive imagery from my previous post? Just wondering, as it was there when I looked at it last, and it is still there when I look at the actual text of my post in editing mode. Last edited by 17tbs; 01-15-2017 at 03:02 AM. |
