Shrapnel: Great photos depicting your great hobby!
Thanks for posting them.
In the past month I have kill't numerous Gophers using three different 17 HMR Varmint Rifles, two different 17 Mach2 Rifles, two different 17 WSM Rifles (these two were friends semi auto 17 WSM's), a 17 HMR revolver (S&W Model 647 with Burris 7 power scope), my favored Ruger 77/17 Hornet V/T and finished off a partial box of 17 Remington factory ammo in my rare Remington 700 VSS in 17 Remington (Varmint Synthetic Steel) and also let fly with my Remington 700 VSF in 17 Remington Fireball and my handloads.
My point being I am about to declare the 17 calibers (both rimfire and centerfire!) the top "caliber choice" for these plentiful Varmints.
Have not used or seen afield a 17 CCM - that sounds VERY interesting - is that a standard Cooper offering?
Thanks again for sharing your great photos.
Hold into the wind
