I know the .17 hmr is violent on meat.
That's what I was wondering. I'm looking for something for small game in Alaska with a range longer than a .22LR but nothing that will evaporate the meat.

And while I'm positive it will take out a deer, I'm going to get a .223 for my daughter.
Most people on this board would not believe how many deer I've taken with .223.

17 is not bad AT ALL on meat. shoot the right ammo. Shoot the 20grain hollow point. dont shoot those 17 grain ballisc tips when you hunt "unless you like the carnage"
