    Yup, if your biggest critters hares and possums, go for 17hmr. Cheap to run, much quieter than a 223, arguably safer and more range than a 22. Would recommend a suppressor for the 17.

    Unless you are running leighigh or subx bullets the subs i used on animals were not great. You need to head shoot with heavy match bullets and have the rifle zeroed for those bullets, it is...

    The Grendel only needs 14.5" of barrel to get its maximum velocity from a 123gr bullet. Use BM 8208 and it can get you 2500fps no drama. I load mine to 2450fps and have shot it to 500m with great...
