Nice shoots! At 17 gr. weight that thing must be really moving. What is the speed of those bullets?

Gotta love a flat shooting 17. Glad you got to the range.

Nice shooting BRM. Do you have any of the heavier bullets. Savage rifles are very accurate. Now you need to go find ya some of those prairie dogs BRM

While at range I broke couple of clays and that rifle was so dialed in I broke a couple of the pieces, I rang the gong and dispatched a gopher.

I have a couple of hundred rounds of 20 gr. But want to save those in case home is attacked by prairie dogs,
Before pandemic I bought a box of 17 gr. (20 boxes of 50). Price tags are still on them ($10.35) I don’t know what online auctions are getting for a box of 50 but I guess not that cheap!

I was just curious if it would shoot the 20gr a little better because that was my experience when I had a 17
