No one has mentioned the excellent variant of the .222, the .17 Remington. It used to be popular here in Aust as a dedicated fox shooting cartridge for minimal damage to furs. Back when there was a fox fur trade.

Don't hear much of it nowadays, but the sub .22 rfs seem very popular.

The .17 Rem works very well, John.



Here's a gopher shot at the base of the spruce tree in the background, edge of tree line - 320 yard shot, prone with bipod using a 25gr. Hornady HP running just over 4,000fps mv. hit smack on his nose, (I assume), his entire skull was removed leaving the skin intact.

Here's looking atcha!
