[QUOTE="JSHKS, post: 2267711, member: 103581"] Anything you have listed, doesn’t go with wolf imho. 222, if you have never played with one, you should. I waited a long time, then found out I was missing out on a fine cartridge. 221FB, Maybe I got one that was a problem child, just never made me happy. 204 Ruger, it is slowly replacing a lot of my 223 shooting. 17 Hornet, I am just now getting out of the 17HH business, you have it listed twice. So I will add my .02 on another. 17FB, replaced my 17HH. I can load down to 17HH velocities and up full throttle to 4000+ if I so desire. The work I had to do to get excellent accuracy was easier and less frustrating than the Hornet. 22CM. No experience with it. Imho the creeds are just a fast twist of a prior cartridge. With that in mind, I will refer to 22-250. I had a 22-250 for a number of years. It does the job. However I found the 22BR to be way more accurate, as others before me have as well. It IS worth the work. 22Hornet. I actually just shot mine yesterday for the first time in quite a while. I play with it more as a novelty and cast bullets than as a varmint rig. Now that I have a 222 I can down load to Hornet speeds with easier accuracy. FYI, if you go with a 22Hornet, be well aware there are some 1-16 twist out there that will not stabilize a 40 grain Vmax. I had a CZ that wouldn’t short of ruining brass trying to overcome the problem with speed. May draw howls of angst from some, but I will state my thoughts on small actions. The Howa mini has it all over the CZ527. I have had both, they both have their glitches. The CZ’s have been around longer and more support. The Mini has been around less, but has a large following and growing. There are options for some nice smooth bottom metal that really cleans them up slick. Not a thing wrong with any cartridge you have listed, just what your expectations are in the field. [/QUOTE]
