I use a 17 Remington as my primary varmint gun with a 25 grain hornady HP.  With the 17 if you hit anywhere in front of the diaphram they hit the dirt fast.  I have never had one run off with a chest shot.  With it you can hardly find a entrance wound and never an exit.  I took the 6.5 just because it is new.

much easier to find usually harder to sell if a guy is interested in that during the good months

Going to have to disagree with you here.  I shoot a .223 and usually 55gr JHP.  I will get pass throughs behind the shoulder but on the shoulder I don't have an exit.  I haven't sold hides for a few years now but I find shoulder shots to be more fur friendly.  My issue is often by habit it automatically want to hold behind the shoulder.  Now that hides aren't worth much, the real benefit is the easy recovery.  :twocents:

maybe i shoot too much gun, but when i shoot them with a shoulder shot from my 243 ai with 70 grain b tip at 3650 i blow rite through and do them in pretty good. some times i may get one better than the other. i am building a 22-250 ai for my coyote partner with a 1:12 twist looking at the 53 grain v max's at a high rate of speed. the one i am building for my self will out do the 243 ai ballistic wise with 75 grain or 80 grain bullets. i would like to take a few coyotes past my personal best from this past winter at 725yards.

Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.
