Thks. Matt--yeah dying to see what happens with it too. I'll let you know if the 8T affects the gore factor (a very opinion-based quality probably)

I really like the idea of the 17H Striker but the 18" barrel really handicaps the case. I often wander how much useful gain you get over the 17wsm in that length barrel or 16" barrel. I like the Contender set-up. Does anyone know?

Well, one less question in my head. That is a lot of speed out of a 13" barrel.

My 17 Fireball XP-100 with 20 gr vmaxs running 3700 I was getting prairie dogs out to 4-425. Woodchucks out to 300 and they are DRT much past that and sometimes I need a second shot but not everytime.

Didn't see these addtl. comments. Thks guys! I also use my 17 FB for pd's Adam. Just trying to save that barrel for coyotes. I wanted the smallest reloadable factory case I could find for a walkaround prairie dogger.
