I use them in my 17 VHA and they are very destructive on various small critters, like the varmageddon's in the other caliber's. I think any of the tipped Nosler's work very well, accurate and they explode the squeeks and even rock chucks. Bill K

Yes, I use them in my .17 Hornady Hornet and find that they are very accurate and very destructive on "ground squirrels."

Default tipped varmageddon

I have been shooting some tipped 20 gr Nosler, they seem to whack the pups really hard, sometime making two or three big pieces out of them.
