They can be finicky, I have shot a few squirrels with mine now, some times it blows them to bits ...others dont even exit.

 

Not shot Fox with it though.

 

Or a little black wabbit ;)

It is all in the Lot. If they are focusing on Winchester ammo that run, the machinery gets slowed down and a better grade of ammo results. This is how the perception of a difference in brand quality is maintained. Frankly, I think they toughened up the bullet jacket after the third run of Hornady ammo. That why the first run ammo would expand if you hit a grasshopper and later ammo would shoot through rabbits.~Andrew

A few of us have tried the Winchester and cant get the same type of groups that Federal or Hornady will produce, :P I am glad we only bought a small batch of it and am just using it on crows and magpies, :lol:

I will use the Remington ammo exclusively now.....unless I come across some Hornady.

 

I only use the Winchester ammo if I want to miss something :P

Its been a long time since iv used the humble little HMR, but iv tried fedral remington and cci, as seem to shoot about the same in my savage, i did abit of testing with the 17gr agains the 20 gr hollow point,

 

17 v-maxs would shoot accuratly to 200 yards (on paper)

 

however once the 20gr hollows got past 100 they ran out of steam,

 

I also found that the hollow points didnt kill as well either and tended to pencil through rabbits and fox's instead of expaning!

 

I know this is nothing to do with winny ammo, but i thought id share my experiences
