The fouling issues are a total myth IME.

OK...thanks to Clark and others...this stuff is good to know, as the .17 Rem would be the easiest to put together. I presume some of the new copper fouling resistant powders help with this...
What powder is the fave in the .17 Rem?
ingwe,
4320 is the old standard powder in the 17 Rem., and still gets it done (much like 4198 and the 222), but there are plenty of other powders that load well in in it.
I've gotten good results with Varget, H322, 4064 and Accurate 2460, with Varget and H322 being most preferred of those four.
Of the newer powders IMR 8208 loads excellent.
If you want to keep it simple on powder supply, seeing that you've posted many times about IMR4895 in other rounds you shoot, you can get fine results with that as well, and it wouldn't be a bad place to start until you get a chance to play with some of the others.
Good luck,
-Ted
