I was amazed at what this round could do in this caliber! Review by Rooster

First let me say I am not too familiar with the .17 Cal. except in my pellet rifle I keep for squirrel hunting and also it being the cal. of a BB! When my grandson told me he had a .17 Cal. rifle, I thought his Dad had wasted his money. But I bought him 50 rounds of this ammo so he would have some to zero in his scope.
When my grandson brought his rifle over to set his scope, I was amazed at the range and accuracy of these rounds. He not only hit our targets in good grouping from 50 yds out to 125 yds. That was as far as we went because here in the mountains of North Carolina, that's about as far as you find yourself making a shot.
He was really pleased with this round and begged me to order him another box when I reorder my own ammo. He said he'd mow my 2 acre yard for free if I would.
I am no expert on the .17 cal. rifle or the ammo, but from what I saw, and from what I was able to do with his rifle myself, I am considering buying me a .17 cal. rifle this coming hunting season for small game. And of course, I think I'll stick with this round for setting my sights, and for small game.
