Thanks for the reply. Given how long you had it, and how well rodents reproduce, I was actually expecting about five times that. Still a very valid field report, so thank you.

Please keep us posted on how well the 17H bore holds up to colony work. If barrel life is shorter, then that’s a bit of a tie breaker in my mind.............also assuming my sense of humor would also remain consistent with reloading those tiny little bullets in volume. The 17H looks like a solid design, and a better cartridge for the CZ since the Ruger #1 is a unicorn at this point.
