Thread: 22 wmr vs goats

I'll be real interested to see how 17wsm goes on goats.

Yeah saw that episode with the ruger rpr.
And if I remember power charge had not much effect on velocity and as you mentioned the crimp was more effective for overall performance .
Not that I will be going to that extreme to bowl over a few pesties .
If I remember he also found adding a barrel sleeve improved the grouping which I thought was interesting , particularly as my new toy is sleeve barreled .
