does a .17 HMR mushroom when it hits a crow or sparrow or any bird of that size?

Question: and how far does the bullet fly with out dropping?

Answer: It'll go right threw, think of it like a balloon, you take a stick and poke it it might pop, but probably not. Then you take a needle and it will. The needle has a smaller surface area and will pierce it easier. The .17 is like the needle. A .17 has extreme muzzle velocity and flies quick out to about 150 yrds. after that the bullet is so small it loses momentum after 200 yrds.
