[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 71225, member: 10"] I use mainly the 20 gr V-Max(4300 fps) and the 28 gr Calhoon HP(4000 fps) in my 17 Rem and while it is very accurate with both I really do not use it much simply because it fouls excessively. I use Varget mainly with the 28 gr pills and powder fouling is a larger issue then copper fouling. For a predator rifle this is not a huge concern and powder fouling is easy to get out but I would personally just grab a 223 AI loaded with a 40 gr Blitzking or B. Tip at 4000 fps and be able to shoot really as many rounds as I would want with no real fouling issues. The 17s are fun to shoot, very fast and generally accurate when clean but I have always come back to the 22 cals in teh long run. The 20s do interest me and I have been playing with a 20 Allen Mag design but there is nothing serious yet. Still, the modern 22 cals are so useful, its really hard to improve on them. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
