[QUOTE="436, post: 2993791, member: 16609"] I just thought I'd share this load for the .17 Remington shooter out there, it performed fantastic in my M700 BDL .17 Rem for many years. Yes, I kept the barrel very clean and never heated it up on the range or in the field shooting paper and rocks. I might add that when it came to the powder, I pulled the bullets on a couple of factory-loaded cartridges to determine the factory powder weight and powder composition, the weight was {22.8gr} and its makeup matched Vihtavuori N135 to a tee. So, pulled my Vihtavuori reloading manual "first edition" off the bookshelf, and looked up .17 Remington, lo and behold; there it was on page 69 the same weight with N-135 and the same velocity as the Remington factory which I had already chronograph with my Oehler 35p Chronograph, at 4040 fps with a very small SD that I don't recall at this time. I put together a few loads using all of the Remington components and head for the range, bingo! Same velocity of 4040 fps and it shot in the same hole as the Remington factory load, with nearly identical SDs. Side note: the .17 Remington factory was remarkably accurate ammo, as were my hand-loads. The Load: Remington 700 BDL .17 Remington 24" Case: Remington Primer: Remington small rifle 7 ½ BR Powder: VV-N135 (22.8Grs) Bullet: Remington 25gr HP you can sub Hornady 25gr HP Velocity: 4040 fps out of a 24" inch factory barrel. Accuracy: sub .5 MOA all day long. Note: I've found this load to be a very safe load with no pressure issues, I'm pretty sure Remington is using VV-N135 in their loads.
