.17 hornet

[Rotaxpower]

Can anyone with .17 centerfires chime in as to how their's are for fouling? I've been reading in some accounts that because they move so fast and the small caliber makes for quick fouling. True or false? I've shot .17 fireball, .204, and own a .223. I wouldn't rely on a .17 for long shots in any wind, that's where the .223 shines. But I wouldn't mind the .17 hornet for calm summer days at the gopher patch.

I shoot a 17 Remington and have been told about how bad they foul the bore. I have yet to see it on mine with 100 rounds down the pipe before I clean.
