[QUOTE="rewiltshire, post: 2870219, member: 53629"] Been shooting 'dogs' for years. I have a 17 Mach IV, 17 Remington, 204, 221 Fireball, 223 and a 22-250. The ones that 'bucks' the wind the best is probably the 223 and 22-250 with 50gr V-max's, but that said I like all six centerfire cartridges. A lot of us have started using 17 WSM rimfires - if you can find ammo. I have plenty of brass for all centerfire cartridges, but the abundance of 223 brass, bullets and a Dillion reloading machine kind of makes it my 'go to' round. It's also a lot easier on barrels than the 22-250. Remember you can never have enough rifles in a 'hot' PD town. One gets a little to hot, switch to another. Not unless you have real deep pockets and a good gunsmith to keep replacing barrels. [/QUOTE]
