Since California demands that all bullets used in hunting be non-lead in the near future, it kinda put me and Bill at a loss as to what to do with our 17 HMR squirrel rifles. Until now I have not been able to find any nonlead bullets available for them. I found some CCI loaded with 16 gr. TNT Green Bullets that are approved, Midway had them. I ordered 2 boxes to see how they would shoot.
The wind was gusting at the range today but I decided to try them anyway. I needed to... order more if they turned out ok. They shoot a little lower than the lead bullets it's sighted in for but all things considered I am gonna try to get more.
The first shot is at 50 yds. You couldn't ask for better.
The group opened up a lot at 100 yds but without the wind I think it would have been much better.

I also took my 223 to check zero in case I use it for bobcat later this month. I can live with that. Swamprat

Those are pretty tight groupings. Especially with your .243. Good luck gettin' that kitty later this month.

It's the 11th. Happy Veterans day everyone, Swamp Rat, have you got that Bob Cat yet? Since that fire. Nothing up here but ashes. I think even the Varmints lit a shuck to Texas.

No Doug, waiting for deer season to be over. I think it ends this weekend. We'll probably give them a few days to settle down after all the people stomping around and try then. Not likely to get one but it should be fun trying.
