Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles 17 Remington Reloading Data

I've been shooting a Rem 700BDL(3 of them) in 17 Remington for 30 years and only ever used two powders 2208 (varget) and W760. Only ever used the 25gn Hornady HP - thankfully I still have enough to keep me out of trouble. My primary load was 23.7gns of Varget (or 26.5gns W760) which gave a velocity of around 3950fps. With velocity at or above 4000fps I found leaking primers to be a problem.
