The Duncan 802 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 my feo says the .17 hmr isn't enough gun for the job. That said, she also told me that the max calibre for muntjac is .223. Clearly, her knowledge is severely lacking when it comes to rifles. Nice head shot at 120 yards; good going fella Quote Link to post

chimp 299 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 i think different counties have different opinions on whats suitable , round here they say hmr is good for foxes but i personaly will only kill kill them with a headshot Quote Link to post
