Yeah they are the the hornady 25gr hp. I can't find anything but the 20gr vmax/nosler and 25gr HP.
Wouldn't mind trying the 25gr vmax

Ahhh, good onya Trev, I was gunna offer to send some 25gn Vmax for him to try out, but you just saved me the effort. I was gunna offer a box full.

[MISSED]

Wow that is a great offer Trevor

I wish someone would send me a full box of 25 grainers to try.

This cz keeps getting better. I decided to try some slower loads as fox heads don't like 20gr vmaxs at over 4300fps as the picture below shows. The Adi book now suggests 2207 as a powder for 17 rems. 16gr of 2207 and a 25gr vmax gave me 3410fps which was exactly what i wanted. At the same time I borrowed a mate's 17 hornet to test and got some good groups with 11.4gr of 2207 with 20gr nosler.
Noise levels were very similar between to 17 rem and hornet with this load which was a surprise.
A 5 shot group at 100 confirmed what I had hoped for. The group could be covered with a dollar coin.

Cheers

Any thought's on the meopta meopro scope's?
They seem to get some good reviews and the price is reasonable

I have a Meopro 6x18x50, pretty happy with it.

Interesting, I was quoted one of these the other day and had a quick squiz through it. It's pretty hard to evaluate a scope in a gun shop, so I appreciate someone here sharing there opinion. FWIW I couldn't see any significant difference between another scope I was also looking at which leaves me just as confused as when I walked in.

I've got three Meopro's now. 3.5-10, 4-12x50 & 6-18x50. No flys on them at all. Not a Swaro but not far off for the price difference.
