[QUOTE="JSHKS, post: 2784480, member: 103581"] I just put another 17 Remington together. Barrel was used low round count, I was warned it fouled pretty quick. That is OK because there are no plans to show it any mercy. I wish it was longer, but it is what it is for my experiment. We are going to see what the 15.5’s do at full throttle. I won’t argue with those that are non believers in the sub 22 calibers. I disproved and cleared up a lot of false statements and myths to a half dozen guys I have shot with for over 30 years. We were all under the belief and understanding of what we had been told for years. We still get into discussions more today than ever the time of flight vs BC and a bigger caliber. For my heavy 17 Remington I built a few years back, it sees nothing but 25-30 grain bullets. Speeds vary with both I try to stay under 4000, it seems to like 3900-3950. Folks that worry about getting a rifle hot, simple bring enough to split up the duties. I split mine up by distances and have been pretty happy that way. Still have a couple of “do all’s” that work from 0-400. If you don’t clean every evening you can be setting yourself up for grief the next day. [/QUOTE]
