If you want semi-auto, look at the latest model CZ in WMR. If you are shooting rabbits/hares inside 100-120m and possibly some goats, WMR and select you ammo to suit the situation. If you are only shooting rabbits/hares and you want to shoot consistently with one shot kills beyond 100m, HMR. For the calibre, I would recommend the V-max and nothing bigger than hares. My brother is using HP's because he could get the ammo cheap, but expansion is unpredictable, and the bullets seem to be much harder if you compare dead rabbit bodies side by side shot at the same distance. Its the most accurate through my rifle and has performed well on rabbits. The TNT's would be a great solution were ricochets need to be well controlled. I haven't tested this on live game yet, but have bought 500 rounds for the next rabbit hunt. Couldn't believe it on the first test so repeated it twice more with the same results.

There is not a single piece of projectile left bigger than a grain of sand. They do not penetrate through the first milk bottle, and the bullet turns to dust. Holy crap batman!! These group around 1.5" 100, and a super explosive. I also tested some CCI 30gr TNT (among others) as I am at the end on my latest 1000 round batch of the Winchester and was supposed to be hunting bunnies at Easter. This would be my pick of ammo if you were hunting goats. Grouping out of the CZ is around 2.5" 100m. My testing a month ago had it penetrate 4x 2L bottles face on. This projectile performs just like a jacketed centrefire projectile, giving excellent expansion to double its calibre when fired into water filled milk bottles. 22WMR with excellent performance on rabbits and hares. 17 does reach out further on rabbits by approx 50m.17 is also less likely to have ricochets.Īmmo wise, I have been using Winchester 40gr jacketed HP in the. 17 which I would have head shot had I had the 22WMR). 22WMR will however drop bigger game if you are likely to run into a goat or a deer depending on the ammo you use (been caught out 3 times now running into deer with the. 17HMR is the CZ platform.įrom practical experience.
