I use a funnel. 24.5 is usually good too, but I've found the 24gr. load to work in everything.
20 or 25's. Either or.

WOW a 17 thread. I had one a long time ago, but when I had to pour IMR 4320 down the neck of the case, it was too slow for me. I sold it and started shooting 220 Swifts to get some high velocity.
Then one day I found the 222 Remington Magnum and I have left everything else rusting in the basement. 4 of them accurate buggers and I still don't think I am done accumulating them.
It is a good thing this is a discussion between 17 calibers, as the 222 Rem Mag would shut the door on the competition...

I wonder how the .17's would work on a Dillon 650?

Nice submission Ricky. You're in a very solid last place.

I suppose you think a nice curved-steel buttplate would be much classier?

Travis Like a minority migrant worker in a Nitro Glycerin production facility... That's funny but true. I was running a housing project on the Truckee river outside of Reno in 1998 when a factory (about five miles from my job) that made explosives for the mining industry blew up. Five miles away and I thought my jobsite office trailer was going to turn over. Anyway,,,, most of the workers were illegal including two that were never found. Needles to say lawsuits were filed and the company filed bankruptcy, but more importantly, I discovered there were ALLOT more Ducks on that river than I thought. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/1998/jan/07/three-killed-in-explosion-at-chemical-plant-outsid/

Charlie, when I was a pup the dupont plant in Louviers blew up. The dad of a couple friends was vaporized. All they found was his belt buckle.......

You gotta let them age so they get gummed up. It's like wine, only different. Travis

That sux Don. Like I said, "I was five miles away" and couldn't get out of that trailer fast enough. There was a second explosion about 15 seconds later that made me glad I did. Can't imagine what it was like at the epi-center. About three minutes later my taxidermist's son/landscaper/duck hunting pard came flying up in his pick up, jumped out and said, "holy chit did you see all those Ducks get up". Not really funny but I still chuckle when I think about it.

huntsman22,
I think a brass buttplate would be just perfect on a green McSwirly....
