Here's a better link for the article:
The .17 Aguila/PMC A Small Game Option for the .17 Mach II ?
I updated some of the information at the bottom of the article.
Thanks!

You stated that "...good shot placement is needed...".Here's a better link for the article:

Did you mean that the 17 PMC/Aguila is not as effective and not as precise as the 17 HM2 (v-max) round ?Comment

The 17PMC/Aguila is made for small game hunting, but the bullet does not expand as much as the V-Max round, so good shot placement is necessary.
Also, it was not as accurate in my CZ as the .17HM2 rounds I normally shoot, but good enough for <100 yard shooting.Unlike the Hornady V-Max bullets, it punched a hole clean through the squirrel and leave a welt-like wound on the exit side (see picture below). It killed the squirrel instantly, but did not leave the body a blown-up, bloody mess. For once, while hunting ground squirrels, this was a positive thing. I knew if I ever turned my sights to game animals, like cottontail rabbit, it would not destroy the edible meat like the V-Max does.
Let me know if you have any other questions!

The HM2 rounds can do 1/2 MOA. If the 17 PMC/Aguila can do MOA out of the CZ HM2, that'd be very useful. I'd take that over 22LR at 100 yards.The 17PMC/Aguila is made for small game hunting, but the bullet does not expand as much as the V-Max round, so good shot placement is necessary.
