CCCC,

Thanks for your clarification about the 125 yards.

However, it sounds like you're assuming that I don't have alternatives, or data other than holes in paper and chrono findings. My knowledge of the .17 Hornet's field effectiveness comes from using it for years (along with a bunch of other rifles and cartridges), not from ballistic theory.
