been a long wait but finally got it done.
its a 17-204. this is all new to me so was hoping things worked out.
since T.A. never sent my boolits, i had to settle on second best (NOT) [Wink]

i settled on a load that shot a .246 (4 shots) at 104 yards. right now its 1.25" high at 100, 2"high at 200 and dead on at 300 using Chan Nagels 30's. wanted to see how it bucked the wind and today was 30+. drift was 3.75 at 200 and about 8.75 at 300.
took a short 2 day trip last wed/thurs to see how this load performed on fur and could not be happier. small sample but shot 5 coyotes with 5 shots and fur damage was... well, none!!
thanks for the advice DAA, Knockenemdown and yes, even you Timmey. had NEVER even had a .17 cross my mind till i seen DAA's damn video!!

glad i did though [Wink]

edited to add: shot an honest 1 holer today at 104 (3 shots) [Big Grin]

edited to add again!!. LB change my title [Mad]

if i only beat TA by a whisker than your a flaming queer
