I'm heading there late August,if the 204 doesn't do it with my calling techniques,I don't need to drop any. I'm in a place that has never been called for the most part,coyotes are thick,50 acres right by Glacier.

Watch for the bears up there by Glacier.

especially with prey distress calls.....after calling a boar grizz in with doe in heat bleats in November time frame, I am more cautious than previously. You could hear him coming very faintly, between 50-70 yards. He was a specimen head on at 50 yards, golden saddle, darker brown body, bucket for a head, 550-600 #'s........

Great little cartridge, I put the Boyds on mine and didn't pillar bed and it shoots just under an inch now. I have the heavy barrel, i tried to make three of the skinny profiles work and sent them all back.

But not for Grizzlies!

I did some work for a guy a few years back . He gave me a case of Hornaday 20gr. xtp so that's all I've used in my 17HMR . It seems to need cleaned often , 100 rounds or so . I was kind of thinking maybe it was the bullets being a little softer copper . How do the Winchesters do for you as far as fowling ?

Pretty dirty that why I use cci
