Worch Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 has anybody loaded these ? I just wondered what they were like as it seems there’s a considerable difference in price over the Hornady v max in .17 , Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodlander Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 I use 55gr in a .223, very good value and every bit as good as Vmax. I can only assume this is the same for the .17 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17 Rem Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Found the 70 grain tipped ones load fussy in my 6BR, but hellish accurate after careful load development, effective and affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlts Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Love them! Use them in 204, 223, 243, 308 and 300AAC to great effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worch Posted April 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Brilliant, Thank you for your replies 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 204, 223, 300 AAC, 7.62x39. Great accuracy. Additionally, the 123 grain for the 7.62x39 acts like a big game bullet on deer at moderate ranges.~Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooter Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 I used the 20grn in my .17 Hornet and they were far more consistent than the .20 or 25Grn VMax. I ran them with DO63, and also tried them with N110 and N120. All gave excellent results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
