I think it's supposed to improve it brybenn, but as soon as I got mine..I ran samples of every ammo type I had through it (which is allot), then tested modified..and unmodified ammo. Even if what I had was a hollow point to start with (ie, Winchester white box garbage) I STILL ran it through. This was a few years back, but if memory serves...it either didn't change accuracy at all, or improved it slightly. Only dramatic change was the terminal results.
I subsequently did a quick test on the gophers themselves when I got out west with these Blazers. The solids hit with a "thup" sound, passed through..and resulted in crawlers. (body shots) The Waltzed ones hit with a louder "THAPP" sound, inside parts exited at the very least...sometimes flew away...and immediate demise 9/10 times. The 1/10 didn't get more than a foot away from where they were hit. Nobody needs to believe me...but I shot over 4,000 rounds of this stuff on a week long trip..and have lots of gooey photos to back this up. If you lived close, I'd be happy to run some ammo through it for you to test.
Ill take u on your word. I was thinking for cci standard. My mark2 loves it but on rib shot squirrels they can make it to a tree hole. My 17 mach2 knocks their stuffing out though
17 HM2 is my favourite squirrel hunting round... I bailed out on it though, when all of the manufacturers seemed to give up on it. But, in the years that I shot it, I made some crazy shots on squirrels... probably should have kept my all time most accurate rifle that I customized in HM2... if the buyer reads this, I would be happy to buy it back!

Well done op, I think I would increase the distance to make it a bit more difficult, have fun.
