I compare the 17hmr to the 22lr when it comes to stopping and penetration power,I shot them both at a metal army helemet both shot at 50yards this answers the question on which caliber is more powerful

  • .22lr - 1:36

    .17hmr - 2:53

  • Blowback action .22LR vs bolt action 17hmr... The .22 is already as a disadvantage, losing much of it's power to reset the action.

    PS: a much more fun test is 1/2 steel plate, shot with 22-250, .308, .338, 45-70. That gives a show!

  • @DUD306NOTCH Ya... other guy is right. My grandpa owns a military surplus store, and theres tens of thousands that can be scooped up dirt cheep

  • @BiffBallbag I've been dealing with people spamming my email on this for over a month, fuck off.

  • @Sabertoothpython Did you get your feelings hurt or is it just time for mommy to change your pampers again?

  • My previous comment was directed at EVERYBODY with no life or brain

  • @BiffBallbag Do you have nothing better to do than comment on old conversations?

    Anyway, what tests are needed? Theorheticly, with all the stated truths, I am right in what I said. Prove me wrong, or, fuck off

  • @Sabertoothpython Yeah, that would be almost as much fun as the tests you didnt post!

  • Well, if I were a soldiers in WW2, I'd prefer to be hit by a .50 cal Browning rather than a small .22. At least, I'm sure to be dead instantly.

  • @Sabertoothpython Ever tried loading SS109 into a .22-250 case?

  • You shot the .22LR up higher where the radius of the helmet is, and the .17HMR down where it was almost flat. The .17 is a jacket projectile with a poly tip for controlled expansion. the 22LR is a plated soft lead projectile at best, not to mention the .17HMR has a much higher velocity over the 22LR. Barrel length will change the velocity also. Maybe a 22LR in Hyper velocity like the Remington Yellow Jacket or CCI Stinger agianst the .17HMR shot on the same area of target..

  • @Boutiquez Also to spread blunt impacts out a bit. EG: A board from the roof hits you in the head, your skull wont be fractured
