[QUOTE="Panhandle Pete, post: 2178212, member: 107045"] You must have been to the same PD school I have been too, we shoot our 17 HMR (17 grain V-Max) on shots 150 yards and in sometimes stretching to 200-225yards depending on the wind which we have plenty of here in the Texas Panhandle, we tend to have a better kill ratio going this route because of the reduced noise -then to my 204 both factory and custom guns- 40 grain V-Max over 26.7 grains of IMR 8208 XBR- then move on to my 22-250's standard 1/14 twist-( 50-55 grain bullets) or my battery of 6XC's ( I have them in 1/7.5 twist, 1/8 twist and 1/10 twist and use them according to my chosen bullet weights ( 55-105 grain) or my 243 Winchester - 1/9 twist ( 70 grain Nosler Ballistic tip) for everything after that. The 204 gets some spectacular flips and doubles as do all the center fire guns depending on the range. Having the center fire guns with a suppressor ( Thunder Beast for the record) makes a huge difference on how long our shooting sessions will last also. MY 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
