This video provides an expert-level analysis of the .17 HMR cartridge's lethality, featuring detailed ballistic testing and comparisons. The host, recognized for his expertise in firearms testing, demonstrates the round's performance against ballistic gel, simulated anatomy, and a ballistic dummy, concluding it's highly effective for varmints but not ideal for self-defense against humans.
This video compares the CCI TNT .17 HMR and .22 WMR ammunition through ballistic gelatin at close range. The .17 HMR demonstrated better penetration with its base carrying further, while the .22 WMR fragmented more readily, resulting in shallower penetration. The test also included a brief evaluation through four layers of denim, showing similar fragmentation patterns.
