I’m sitting on Nagels, Berger Match Target, Hornady 25 HP’s...just not enough to keep me interested. Sucks! If Hornady would have kept the 25 HP’s I’d keep trucking with the 17.

All of these (and more, this was the last trip to the buyer that year) were killed with the 17 Remington shooting the Berger Varmint bullets. I skin and stretch my own so I see every shot, and there is no stink on that bullet IMO. I've got a couple thousand of the Hornadys squirreled away, but until Burger quits making this bullet I'm going to keep shooting them. Everyone bitches about the price of the Bergers, but they come 200/box. If I were shooting ground squirrels or something I might think differently, but for fur hunting? They are worth every penny.

They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
