The title says it all. Will the factory .17 HMR rounds go through a dime or a nickel or a penny or a quarter at 15 or 25 yards?

Anyone done it?

Yes they will, they put a nice hole in a penny at 50 yards.

Varmint Al's Field Testing The 17 HMR

I can't say for the 17 HMR but I have put a Rem YJ 22 LR AMOST through a quarter (hit slightly off center and blew out the edge of the quarter) at 25 yards. Stateing that, I would think that the HMR would easily be able to penetrate any current US coin. I've got it around here some place and if I can find it I'll post a picture.

Class III

Coin yes.
Soda can filled with water at 75 yards, No.
But fun to see what happens.
It wont make it through the back side of the soda can.
