How Deadly Is 17 HMR? (Super Small Varmint Round)

Our Company and Merch! Onward Research http://onwardresearch.com/ henrythumb.com Insta: https://www.instagram.com/garand_thumb/ GarandThumb on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/garandthumb1 Testing the lethality of the .17 HMR — gelatin, meat, and a full human ballistic dummy. First we run standardized 10% ballistic gelatin to measure penetration and expansion, then we move to meat targets to observe real-tissue behavior, and finally we evaluate terminal effects on a human ballistic dummy to see worst-case performance. No sensationalism — just methodical, repeatable testing and numbers you can trust. Rounds used, chronograph data, and rig details are shown on-screen.
