[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 1475760, member: 17593"] Cathunter, I thought you would know these things. Messing with us, huh?LOL. At any rate, I wonder if you looked at the 17 WSM? I have both the HMR and the WSM and the WSM is way more effective! I've killed several large groundhogs with it; and not to mention bunches of prairie dogs! I will say the groundhogs I shot close, but I did whack a PD at 300. I also have a ballistic twin (cousin?) to the 204 Ruger, a 20 Tactical. That, reloaded, gives my 39gr. pills 3800 fps. and is extremely deadly! If you are pelt hunting, I doubt it will pass through. I wouldn't go the 17 Hornet route if you can get 17WSM ammo reasonably, which I can in the States. But the 204 is always a good choice, to load or not to load. Of all my PD rifles I take to S.D., I love the WSM the most! Second would be the 20 Tac and tied with it is the 6 Creedmoor. I'm now loading the 6 and it is proving to be an extremely accurate and long rate round. Just FYI., [/QUOTE]
