Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles .17 Ackley Bee

Any favorite loads? I have been using IMR 4198 with good success, just looking for additional info if it is available. My son has a .17 Fireball, trying to find a common powder.

Thanks in advance

Still looking? I have a decent load book. Are you trying to find a powder both you and your son could use for both calibers?...or one that would produce Fireball speeds.

I'll look at my book, I'm almost positive the Bee is in there.

A powder we can both use. If that produces max speed in both then all well and good. Although the Bee isn't built to produce the Fireball speeds.

Thank you Much

Any of these interest you?

N 120
N 130
RL-7
H4198
H4227 (IMR-4227)

I really liked N120, but haven't been able to find it for a while. R-7 didn't do so well in the Bee when I tried it. The rest i am open to try

Have you tries Lil Gun? I have great results with it in the Hornet, and varied results in the .20 Vartarg and Fireball.

1680 might be another candidate.

WV,

Sent you a PM.
