Travis will disagree, but I would go with the Fireball. In fact, if I had to settle on one centerfire .17 that’s what it would be. To me, the recoil is significantly less, and the barrel doesn’t heat up as quickly or as much. With a 20-grain it matches the velocity of a 25-grain in the bigger Remington—and, for all practical purposes, the trajectory out to where most of us can hit a PD most of the time. With a 20 plastic tip at 4000+, you can sight in an inch high at 100, hold on the middle of a PD to 300, and hit it.
