With TOO much time on my hands to think about the right calling rifle for furs, I have started to entertain the idea of a wildcat instead of a .17 Rem due in part to the availability or lack thereof of components.
The options I have on my mind are of course the .17Rem ad then the .17-204.
Again, since factory loads for the .17 are not really an option and reloading is the only way, why not go ahead and go all out? As I have read through this site, I have gleaned that the main benefit to the .17-204 is the ability to send the 30grainers at the same velocity as the 25 grainers in the .17Rem.
For cats, fox and coyotes, is there a "better" choice or a significant difference in performance or is it simply personal preference?
Also, could someone go into a little detail with regards to the .17-204? As in how it is achieved etc..
Thanks for yalls time.
