Heavy 17 caliber bullets?
Midway had on clearance a bunch of .181" blemished bullets for $3 per 100. 40gr soft point and FMJ....Wondering if these can be drawn down to .17 caliber? would they be too heavy?

I picked up a few hundred with a order I had placed with them as well. Just looking for a use.


Yes you can shoot it...No you can't have it...Yes I will hunt you down if it turns up missing

Gunhaus has 37 gr Bullets, extra long, you'll need an 1:7 or 1:8 twist, it might shoot if you an 1:9 barrel with a slightly longer leade, such as my 17 Tactical Dakota Rifle.
