[QUOTE="Augustus, post: 943788, member: 10142"] GP, I can hang with you comparing the 17 to a 22Mag but the 17 should not be mentioned in the same paragraph as the .223. The .223 can launch everything from a 40 grain V-max to a 90 grain Berger. It's accuracy potential is well documented and I doubt the 17 would have any appreciable advantage in this department. I have killed many many hogs with a .223 and it don't require a caliper to measure how far from the ear, eye, etc to place the bullet. The Barnes TSX fired from a .223 at top velocities will penetrate a hog end to end. Most shoulder shots results in a bang flop reaction, I have killed more than a few DRT (Dead Right There) running away hit in the root of the tail. The 17 Rem would be a closer comparison but even it can't hang with the .223 Rem as a hog slayer. [/QUOTE]
