17 Cal Question

Post by Sako Sam »

Just wondering what projectiles you guys are using in your 17s?

I've been using 25gn Hornadys lately, purely for the fact that I have hundreds of them at home.

I've heard a few reports that Bergers will cut your groups in half but is the price worth it?

I've been using 25grn Hornady HP, just bought 200 hornady 25grn Vmax and about to start loading, the Vmax have a better BC over the hollow point. What .17 are you loading for ?
