RE: why a .17 caliber and not a .223 caliber?
I have a friend in Indiana who shoots one and another in Georgia, both say the pelt damage is minimal. I see the .17 Rem ammo here for sale often and i belive cabela' s has a bulk package of .17 Rem for sale in there new spring shooting catalog, u know the one that comes with the .50 cal ammo cans.
