I ordered 1k of the 23gr bthp for my 17HH. Should have them this week.

Guess I'll use this to see if I can upload a picture. Need at least one coyote picture in this post. Took this one at about 75 yards, walking in broadside to towards the caller/decoy. I'm using a CZ527 Varmint 17 Rem with 25gr Kindler Gold. Hit her on the left side just in front of the leg...

I'm in.

I'd be interested in hearing how you get along with them as well as which powder you use. I also purchased some 26gr, but in the soft point. Haven't gotten around to set up test loads yet. Was using Kinder 25gr HPBT, but ran out of them and found Reeds.

Tried the 17 Hornet on coyotes last season and lost 4, decided to go with the 17 Remington this season and plan on using the 25gr golds and may even try the 30s once I get a feel for the rifle.

Good advice from other posters, however one other step that will help, is after washing, let the hide soak for 5 to 10 minutes in woolite or what ever fabric softener you like. I've found that a mop bucket with the press works good at getting a lot of the water out of the fur before hanging up...

PM sent on your long action.

Been fascinated by Sharps rifles for some time, but really didn't need one in the calibers that they were made for. However that changed when I seen that Chiappa was making one in 17 HH. So decided to pick one up. Seems to be well made and it is accurate. So far I've only run one box through...

My neighbor who only owns two rifles, 22 and M1 carbine is thinking about reloading for the M1. ( He knew that I reload for all my stuff.) He doesn't have a lot of money to invest and was thinking about the Lee Loader 30M1 Carbine. Anyone use that for their M1?

I ran into the same problem last year when I decided to change out my flash suppressor on my Carbon 15 rifle. Tried everywhere I could think of and came up empty. Found out that there was a Professional Ordinance Carbon 15 Threaded Adapter on GunBroker and bought it. IF I run across a...
