[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2263362, member: 109862"] Just out of curiosity: I’ve never played with .17 anything (except BB guns I guess) and always hear “established wisdom” from questionable sources…the thing that I always hear brought up is barrel fouling, that because the bore is so small to begin with, a film of copper and carbon that wouldn’t really matter to even a .22 or 6mm bore diameter can throw the whole thing off on .17s, the 204 bore being a supposed cut off below the which loads and rifles get too “finicky” and sensitive to everything. you guys on this thread actually shoot the things…is there any truth at all to this, do they foul worse than other guns, do they need to be cleaned religiously if groups aren’t to go to pot right away? Or is this more “friend of a friend said” bs? [/QUOTE]
