Small wildcat rounds, anyone shoot them?

Anyone shooting 20P, 20T or any of the 17 cal stuff? What is your favorite?

I just had a custom gun built by Carlson Precision here in So. Cal. This is one of my favorites right now. 3900fps and dead on to 350yds. It starts with a 223 brass and it's necked to 20cal. This one has a Defiance Tenacity receiver and a Kreiger barrel.

I would say "different" over better. The 20P goes subsonic around 350yds but moves at 3800-4000 FPS,depending on the load. The bullets vary from 30-38 grain compared to the 223's 50-68ish grain. It is a varmint round by nature. I have a few 223 Wyldes that can reach 500yds fairly accuratley but this 20P is unreal accurate. Here is the second round of break in, this was 3rds at 100yds.

17HMR is or was a wildcat. Nice flat flying ballistics too. What do you primarily use it for?
Target and just playing around, I really enjoy shooting the 17 hmr, no recoil and very accurate. My friend uses his for squirrel hunting, but I don’t as it often ruins allot of meat, unless you aim for the head.

Haha, it is a destructive little round I have heard.
