    Shooting beside my mate with his 17 Hornet (using 20gr zmax) and me with my 20 tactical (using 40gr vmax) there is absolutely no comparison. The 20 cal tears rabbits apart and hits with much more authority at 300m than the 17 does at 100m. As said above, when using similarly constructed projectiles there isn't a comparison

    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more
