[QUOTE="oldfortyfiveauto, post: 1419748, member: 30352"] I run both 17 Hornet and 204 Ruger for prairie dogs. The Hornet works well to around 300yds. It's lower noise level makes it a real plus under close or less than perfect weather situations. If it was the only rifle I took I wouldn't be unhappy. Something a lot of people overlook is the little 17's (Hornet/WSM/HMR) hardly warm the barrels up. That translates to a lot of shooting without worrying about overheating a barrel. I took my 25WSSM last year and after five shots the barrel would burn you helped by the real hot weather we had. I use the 204 for the longer ones. If I do my part 600yds isn't a big deal. [/QUOTE]
