I hear ya there, and agree to a degree. I'm from the same area and generally run a .260 Remington for the reasons you mentioned. But I picked up this lil hornet and I think it'd be the cat's meow for night calling (which I've never done much of). I picked up an Elite Iron "battledog" suppressor here a bit ago and am reworking all my loads to run suppressed. Just haven't gotten any loads worked up for this .17 yet.
