Hi Guys just an update on the 17 AH. Finily got around to getting to the range. I want to thank you guys for all the help.I follow Varmint ALs form on annealing & neck turning the cases. Then loaded them up with 12.3 GRs of 1680 got good groups with 20 Gr V-Max,20Gr stark,20 Gr buger. All were 1/2 to 1" group with 15 to 20 mph wind.Will try later on a good day but I am will pleased,NO cracked or split necks. Am using Win. brass & SRP primers. Rem cases not working to good. I once more have good things to say about my Cooper. I have also finished up my 19_223, It is a Rem 700 action with a Boyds varmint stock. Using some CMR100 and 36Gr Calhoon bullets I got 1/4 to 1/2" groups. will load some more & do more testing. On a sad note my dad passed away last week, He died in a ultra-ligh plane crash last week in Poteau OK. All we can say is he died doing what he loved to do Flying was his life. We will say so-long to G W Hoffman a good guy & great dad. He will be missed THANKS GUYS HAPPY SHOOTING Ron

Ron, very glad that your Cooper is finally working! It sounds like that lot of W-W brass is harder than normal, which the annealing fixed. My condolences on the loss of your father. It's tough. But it sounds like you are trying very hard to put a positive light on it. He's with THE MAN now, and can fly for eternity. Goodbye, G W Hoffman........... Shoot small ones,

Sorry to hear about your dad. I never really got along with my dad. I always knew he would die a lonely old man. Thats what was so hard when he passed away 2 years ago next month. I'm glad yours meant so much to you. Good Luck, OD
