[QUOTE="436, post: 1099714, member: 16609"] I understand your frustration.. I shot a Remington .17 for many years hunting Yotes and Chucks.. One day I decided to see why Remington's .17 ammo out of the box shot so well in my rifle, Remington M700 Long story short; I took one apart and inspected it's components. What I came up with was. Remington's Brass Remington's 25gr HP Remington's 7 1/2 Bench primer Powder: Their (Rem's) weight was 22.8gr Their powder was a little harder to locate, I went through all the manuals I've collected over the years, which are many. What I found was an old Vihtavvouori "VV" first edition loading manual in my stack which gave a load for using 25gr Hp with 22.8grs of V135 After checking Remington's powder next to VV's visually; I couldn't see any difference, and 22.8 grains filled the case to the same spot. Back then you could buy the Remington 25gr HP bullet in bulk..[U] no more[/U]. I loaded the load, ran it over a chronograph with Remington's factory loaded cartridge and both gave me 4040 fps respectfully and shot into the same hole. I used that combo for a long time.. Could easily take a Yote's with most hit's out to 300 yards.. In the winter a frontal shot was a bit tougher. Now anything much out past 300 yards; it better be neck or head. Didn't mean the body shot(s) wouldn't kill them, it just didn't seem to put them down fast. 400 yards he's out of range. Under 300 yards and it was lighting on Yotes. On the chucks; I'd hit them at say 400 or a little more and they'll stand there, then just kinda fall over, or start to run then tail spin for awhile. I've shot a ton of Yotes off cattle in the winter for friends that had ranches that I could shoot on.. that's where the Remington .17 cartridge makes it's money. I'd stay with the .25gr weight bullet, and see if you could pick up a brand that's similar to the old Remington bullet. Good luck 436 [/QUOTE]
