I shoot a 17 hmr for grouse, and have been thinking about going to a 17 mach 2 instead. Between 10 and 60 yards, my 17 hmr has 3" of variance. When shooting them in the head, this can be tricky. I don't want to go back to the 22 rimfire, because I like the way the v-max bullet preforms. You touch any part of the head or neck, and it's dead. I was considering a 22 mag, but would rather try the Mach 2. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I would think it would work fine, but only as you say, on head and neck shots. I would not wanna hit them anywhere else with the 17mach2.

:yeah:
Thats the first thing I thought too! :chuckle: :chuckle: Maybe he likes grouse burger though?? :drool:

I use a 22mag keep the bullit where it belongs should be fine

No, I hate grouse burger. I am trying to prevent it when other knuckleheads use my gun! :chuckle:
