From POV of LR hunters, why the .17 Remington?

[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1505272, member: 87243"] I used a .17 Remington on foxes on my parents land, they have 34 acres and are surrounded by mostly rural area, but there are houses and livestock within 1000 yds, so I wanted to make sure there was wither no exit or anything that exited would be so small and fragmented that I would have no worries about a bullet bouncing off at an angle to a neighbor's place or hitting cattle. I still of course would not have a house or cattle directly behind my target, but it gave more piece of mind with a 20 grain bullet going super fast vs. A 65 grain bullet out of my 16" ar-15. I took out many foxes, and almost never had an exit. In my mind, that is the best use of a .17 remington. I tried it on p dogs, but in Wyoming 10 mph is a light breeze, so my .223 was much better suited for them. [/QUOTE]
