Attn Trappers re:.17 HMR

[wannabe]

does anyone know how these do on furbearers.....22 mags cause too much pelt damage.....22lr dont have enough power....I currently use stinger .22 since the dont make an exit wound and ruin too many pelts....I thought maybe the 17hmr would give me more range but I don't know about the pelt damage issue....
Thanks Gents

I've shot groundhogs with my .17hmr and all it does it punch a small hole with no exit wound. The insides aren't prettey though

I would recommend it for trappers.
