Okay, I would like some clarification.
Why thick cup primers???
Has anyone faced the dreaded copper fouling issues, and does TAC keep this to a minimum?

Kindler 30gr Gold bullets and RL-15 takes the .17 Rem to a new level of killing power.
The advanced class of cool kids shoot the .17-204 Give me the lowdown on the Kindler 30, as that is what I bought this rifle for the killing of coyotes. What charges/velocities with RL15? Have you tried it with Varget, as I have a ton of it.

Mule Deer, when and where will you publish the 17 article, if you choose to do so?
And, is your BDL a 9 or 10 twist?

Has anyone faced the dreaded copper fouling issues, and does TAC keep this to a minimum? DD, The .17 Rem has a reputation for piercing primers, the thick cup minimizes that. However, I don't feel they are really necessary if you have a rifle has had the firing pin "bushed". The main reason I stay with the Remington 7 1/2 is because it was regarded as THE primer for the .17 Rem since I started wanting one when I was 12 years old. It's always worked for me so I stick with it. In my experience the fouling issue is complete bullschit. I don't doubt there are some owners that have had fouling issues with their .17's, just like I don't doubt there are some owners that have had issues with their 22-250 fouling, or .243, or...pick a cartridge. I have seen the "old" BDL's shoot up a PD town and they had no issues. And I have seen the new BDL's shoot up PD towns and they had no issues. And I have seen Contender's shoot up PD towns and they had no issues. And now I have my LVSF and surpise, surprise... No issues. Travis

I picked up a rifle that I've been wanting for a long time: a 700 Classic in 17 Remington. This the standard, not the Fireball.
Need your best loads and bullets, and why they do/don't work for you. I use 23.7gns Varget and 25gn Hornady hollowpoint in my 700BDL. Its a good combination that has always worked well for me. ![[Linked Image]](http://i36.tinypic.com/35bd06x.jpg)

DakotaDeer,
I have an assignment on "Live With The .17's" for Varmint Hunter magazine--one of the reasons I bought the rifle.
My 700 has a 1-9 twist.

Now go buy a .17 and make it Remington. Not one of those poser Fireball things.
Travis Ouch, I had to go clear to Havre to find out my quieter, zero recoil, cheaper to load bundle of awesomeness made me a poser. I'm scarred for life. Course, I thought about a .17, then came to my senses and bought the .204

I was going to send a load, but what's the twist? I shoot 30 gn bullets that need a 1:9 or better.

We got schit on, big time. Grass is showing in town along the edges. If you frequent two tracks, you may want to hold off.
