17WSM B-mag here, stainless bull barrel. With Winchester 25 grain I can hold one inch at 100 with a 5 shot group. I don't have it in a better stock because most shots are under 100 and I don't want to carry the extra weight. CMR30 looks good, but I have no real life experience. Hogs drop once I realized the sweet spot was below the actual ear a bit, aka in the ear canal.

Politicians and diapers must be changed often. And for the same reason.
Its still fairly loud. It makes it bearable to shoot a few times without ear protection. Without plugs, I prefer not to shoot it unsuppressed.
I bought it as a hog trap gun. With a 1-4x lighted reticle scope, it will dispatch hogs quickly at night in a corral style trap. Its compact, lightweight, fairly accurate, and holds a pile of ammo. I throw it on my back and sneak up to the trap site with 6.8 AR/thermal.
can you tell me what kind of thermal you are using?

Just an update, ended up getting a Ruger American in 22 mag. Put a Vortex Copperhead on it sitting in Talley Lightweights. Only shot two 9 shot groups so far at 50 yards, but this was the 2nd one. The flyer was after a pass through with a bore snake.

I really like my old Browning T-bolt.
