This is what a 17 Hornet will do 17 Hornet CZ 527 25grain Hornady V-max, 11 grains 1680, 5 shot .5 " group
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

Love my 17 Hornets but I shoot 20 grain V-MAX bullets.

John, if you were going to build a 17 Hornet for prairie dog shooting, what contour and length of barrel would you have?

I also shoot 20 grain V-max and like it a lot. But I think that one was done in with the 25 grain version. I was amazed that 15 grain factory through 25 grain all shot into the same one inch bullseye. I took all three bullets - loads PD shooting this year as I was happy with all.

with a suppressor on the end, the .17 hornet, and the .17AH will just put a smile on your face. My two favorite rounds for Pdog plinkin'.

OSU Sign,
For the past decade my .17 Hornady Hornet has been a CZ 527 Varmint, with a medium-heavy 22" that's .75" in diameter at the muzzle. It's VERY accurate, and I really like the single-set trigger as well. If I were going to build another it would be something along that line.

Yeh, but don’t mention the horrible recoil.
