My hottest varmint rifle to date is the Savage 12VLP in 204 Ruger. 4000 fps at the muzzle. 5 shot groups of under 1/4" at 100 yards. I'm hoping for something close with the .17. Today isn't a good range day. Winds are currently steady at 20 MPH with gusts to 31 MPH. If not for the wind, I would head out to the range right now. Sunset is 8:59 PM tonight.

My wife is especially fond of shooting 17M2 from my CZ 452 Varmint. Her "baby" is a Magnum Research MLR-1722 in 17M2 with the "pepper" finish Barracuda stock.

Rain for the last week and the range is flooded. I hadn’t been able to find any lead cast bullets for a month without paying through the nose. I finally broke down and bought 3000 for the .45 auto. Wouldn’t you know it by the next week, the ammo store was back in production so I bought another 2 grand. I won’t get caught short like that again.

With rain comes reloading all those empties. I was able to load about 1200 this weekend. A good start.

I’m going to try to do a little better this season at IDPA.
