I have searched around and have not had much luck, I am looking for a good starting point to load a new 17 fireball. I would love some info or starting point to start working up loads if you have any suggestions... Thanks for your help

I have:
17 Remington Brass
Remington bench rest Small Primers
Planning on starting with IMR 4198
V-Max 20 gr
 
Thanks Gale,
I have the the IMR load info and it has max load at 16.7... I loaded a few rounds starting at 16.0 up 16.7. Has anyone tested their loads that might have some results?
 
I am interested. I want to rebarrel a CZ-527 in .204 Ruger to the .17 Fireball. I have collected Nosler .221 Fireball cases and some Hornady 20 and 25 gr v-max for the project.

I wonder about VV 133 (In stock at Powder Valley) or VV N-140 (In stock at Bruno's) in this cartridge? Any experience?

I am using Hodgdon "Benchmark" in my .204 Ruger with 32 and 24 gr bullets. I am convinced it is "dirty" compared to VV N-133 and IMR 8208 in the .204 Ruger. Any experiences?

aAny experienc with custom barrels in 17 caliber? Is Lilja the way to go?
