Don't underestimate a 17 Hornet 20 grain, at 50 yards, it cut a cinder block in half, leaving a 3-inch hole i'll post a picture of it.Absolutely. In Georgia it has to be 22 cal or larger center fire to be legal. Otherwise I would shoot a 22 magnum when it comes to doe killing. That 22 hornet I had was alot of fun to shoot, I imagine a 17 hornet will be just as fun. Like a juiced to the gills 17 hmr but better.![]()
