I have been reading the posts on the 20 gr. V-Max and the 25 gr. hollow point.
My question is if you would slow the 20 gr. V-Max down to 3000 fps do you think it
would cut down on the fur damage? I am thinking of starting to reload some .17 hornet brass
and would like some opinions on the subject. Thanks

I just slowed down the 25gr. Hollow point and had less fur damage.
I would think you would have the same with the 20 gr. Balistict tip.
Any time you slow a bullet down it is less violent.
I just never like how fast a ballistic tip came apart at any speed. They open up when just hitting fur and skin. The hollow point holds up until it at least gets through the skin.

I'm new to the 17 Hornet picked one up this summer. Just wondering what powders are giving good results. I'm hopping to use it bobcat hunting this year or at least taking it for a walk.
Any advice would be helpful.
