[QUOTE="Mr. Magoo, post: 2991443, member: 124360"] I don't see this subject breached all that often but i know there's some 17 fans out there. I personally only have experience with the 17 wsm, which has proven to be quite the effective round for me in a savage bmag HB. That thing continues to blow me away with its accuracy. I have verified many times it will shoot 3/8" 3 shot groups or better. It is very sensitive to how you "hold" the rifle, but at least i have figured out how to make it hit exactly where I aim on a cold bore shot. I chalk that up to the garbage tupperware stock and will be making a new steel tubing stock like several of my previous renditions but better. All that said, 17 wsm ammo is in short supply so I'll be switching to a 17 fireball soon. Already found a pile of brass, several different bullets and powders to try, and dies so now its just a matter of ordering up a barrel for my contender. I plan on making a blanket and a coat out of the fur so I need something that won't exit. Plus, around my place the more frangible bullets shot at high speed make me worry less about ricochets than say a 6mm. Do any of you have a experience with the few different contender barrel shops? Dont mind paying more for the best quality. [/QUOTE]
