[QUOTE="436, post: 815193, member: 16609"] freddiej, I still have the rifle.. it still shoot great, I'm real big on cleaning, something I found the 17's seem to need, or at least my does. I'm still a big fan of the 25gr Remington HP bullet.. when I had the chance; I bought a metric tone of them, but it's just to bad Remington stopped making them for hand loader altogether. When I was looking for powder(s), I took factory .17 Rem's apart in those early days. What I found was; the weight was 22.8grs and the powder looked very much like a powder V V N135 I was using in my .223 Rem. So I started "low" working up, when I hit 22.8grs... bingo! 4040 fps and gangster accurate with no pressure, and smoking SD's. I have too believe; Remington was using V V N-135 for their factory loads. I always tried to keep the yote's at 300 yards an under.. anything under 300 yards and there head's beat there tails to the ground. And one of the benefits most .17 shooters know; it was like watch t.v hunting program at home through my scope. I used a 6X for about 95% of my yote hunting with the .17 436 [/QUOTE]
