    I reckon it would. I'm comparing an HMR to a 223, which perhaps isn't fair, but there's a shitload of difference there.

    I thought the hornet had heavier projectiles than the hmr, but I can only see the hollow points (20g) for sale. The 20 grainers do a lot less meat damage than the jelly tip 17's.
