IMR4320 or IMR8208 powder with Rem 7 1/2 primers are excellent for the 17 Rem. The Rem 7 1/2 primers were developed for the 17Rem. IMR4320 is the go to powder.
I'm sure this is not new information for you.
The old Berger25gr. "Match" bullets was the go to bullet, but Berger quit making them and only do the 25gr. Varmint. I would not use the Varmint bullet although it may work ok on Fox.


Thanks! Great info! I'll probably try it loaded down to FB levels with maybe a 20 grainer..I dont know yet, but I like screwing with this stuff, so I have something new to play with.
