liongeorge Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hi all it's been a while since I've posted but I've hit a bit of a brick wall and need some help. I recently bought a CZ527 in .17 hornet, I love this rifle and have swiftly worked my way through the initial 250 shop bought 20gr bullets, while doing this I got everything together for reloading and decided 25gr was the way to go and got 200 Hornady v-max. I have had a few problems working up a load having to change primers and powders (Lil-gun rapid but erratic high pressure problems..another story have now moved to H4198). So I have at last worked up a load with about 100 bullets left I have found that stock in UK is virtually non existant. The Hornady have a great BC and my rifle groups well with them Berger 25 gr are highly recommended but only the match FB target are available (do these expand ? what would these perform like in the field?) the match FB varmint are the ones I want but can't find them anywhere. Can anyone recommend a 25grain .17 bullet that is available. Any help much appreciated George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liongeorge Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 +1 can't PM you (17 bullet suggestions/availability) sorry about that, maybe because I haven't been on for a while, thanks Gary have got your PM on SD. I don't seem to be able to PM either so don't know what's going on. Still can't find any 25gr V-max anywhere. ATB George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visiter1 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 what load are you using with the 4198? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liongeorge Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 what load are you using with the 4198? Remington 7 1/2 primer 11.3 grain H4198 this is .2 grain over Hornady data but I have no pressure signs and the grouping is much better than the 11.1 listed max. Hogdon list 11.6 as max though I think you'd be struggling to fit it in as I am just about to compress it with 11.3. Am getting 3300fps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
