[QUOTE="imhntn, post: 903219, member: 3755"] I really like the .17 Rem. I had to work to find a load that it liked that killed well. I killed a bunch with Rem factory 25 gr loads but they all were runners. Many went 50 yrds or more before expiring. I rebarreled it with a shilen barrel and wanted to shoot 30 gr kindler gold bullets but they tumbled out of it. Not fast enough twist to stabilize them. I got in contact with a guy that goes by ackleyman on predatormasters and he really had great info on the gun and loads. He had owned several with the same barrel as mine and told me which bullet to use and a range of powder that he said I would find the sweet spot in and he was right on. I use 25 gr berger match hps. He said stay away from the varmint hps by berger because they blow up on impact and do not penetrate. It is a fur killing machine and I have not had an exit yet. Had a couple run a few yards but most drt. I have not shot a cat with it yet but figure it will do well on them too. Longest kill so far was a lasered 386 yrds last new years day. It has been my go to rifle the last since I got it a couple years ago. It is just fun to shoot. [/QUOTE]
