I've had a few go further then 60 yards, with broadside lung hits. More times then not, it's lights out, BUT there's been enough runners that I relegate my .17 Remington to only (tracking snow) duty. Because most times when they do run, they don't leak enough oil to track them without trackin snow. Although there are exceptions to that rule too. I've got a pic. of a blood trail, in snow, that a blind man could've followed.
I too run mine around the 3900 fps with the 25 Hornady hp's.
Thats just exactly what I thought I'd do in the future...and daylight shooting only. I already found out no blood+ no snow + hard tracking at night...
