I've got both in the Ruger 77. They both shoot pretty well (.75" at 100) and both kill varmits pretty cleanly. The 17 is a little more explosive on impact but also more susceptable to wind drift. The CCI ammo for the 17 seems to be a little tougher than the Federal,Hornady,or Remington I have had it go through gophers without extensive damage, but they are still dead.
Haveing to pick one would be tough, guess thats why I own both.
