What size game would one take with a 17 cal Mach 2 17-Grain V-Max bullet?

17 HMR and .17 Mach II are nice fast little rounds. The HMR is necked down from the .22 magnum the Mach II necked down from a .22 long rifle. They are nice target rounds and good for squirrels, rabbits, ground hogs and even coyote with a well placed shot if it's within 50 yards or longer distance for the .17 HMR. they would be good for raccoon if trapped or feral cats should the need arise. They could easily kill a 300 pound hog for butchering if shot behind the ear. They are little bullets, but very fast and still dangerous so be sure of your target and the region beyond.
