I shoot a Bullberry custom Contender barrel with an old but rebuilt 4x12 weaver
I have shoot many groups under 3/4", with a few in the .3 but for some reason I have not been able to connect with a hog well today 34 degrees out side well I went any way and well after a little belly crawling I had a clear shot at 85 paces and well had to take aim and squeeze the trigger, well a loud whoop and the hogs rolls over, happy day, hit him right in the ear. 17HMR first blood

Well now to a little bit of 17HMR ammo info
Hornady has shipped another batch of ammo to suppliers, this time 160 boxes not 200 little the first batch
They have said another batch in the first week of April then they should be getting orders in weekly
This is not due to Hornadys fault for not getting ammo out, They are being held up by CCI who is making the brass

Also for the great folks with ammo on order with Midsouth hang tight, they have the best price and great service and everyone knows it, they are getting there ammo out the same day it comes in and are getting it out to first people that ordered it, so please be patient

I seem to recall a post or two indicating the use of the above powders in a .17 Remington but can't recall. I have reached the max. with N135 without filling the case and wondered if these slower powders would give me a higher load density while still maintaining or increasing the max. velocity. I am shooting the Berger 30 grain bullets at around 3800 fps in a reformed case that has less powder capacity than the .17 Remington brass.

If no one has direct experience, is there any reason why I shouldn't give them a try if I start low and work up slowly?

Thanks.
