H-414 loads for .17 Remington

howdy,

in an earlier post I asked for suggestions for powders for my new/used .17 Remington. It is a blued Savage short action with a low mileage 22 in Sharp Shooter Supply Douglas barrel.
I installed a Springfield Armory scope 4-14x40 .223R regulated on ''standard'' low Weaver rings. The weavers are the lowest rings I can find. Best of all, my wife really enjoyed shooting it. I shot a group @11/16, my wife's was @1 1/16. I am happy. Hopefully the light weight and recoil (it doesn’t seem all that much quieter], will encourage her to shoot at prairie dogs.

The deal included RCBS FL and seating dies, Lee neck collet and seating dies, 150+ cases, 800 bullets, cleaning rod, etc., so I am almost ready to rock and roll. .

i have decided on H-414 with the following rationale:

1. .17 Remington is overbore, so want to use as slow burning a powder as I can. Tubular burners in this speed range would be too bulky for small case.

2. ball flows so well in my RCBS measures that I will never buy any more tubular when what I have on hand is gone (which is a LOT since I buy by 8# kegs].

3. the .17 Remington, from what I read, seem ''spikey'' pressure wise, so many weight each charge. I believe I can get by with accurate drops in my RCBS measures since they vary very little with either H-414 [22-250AI40*] or H-335 [.223R ]. the Varget gets a little ''cutty'' on the granule, so I will use it up in my 22/250 standard.

I would appreciate any comments you' all might have on H-414 in the .17 Remington with 20, 25 grain V-Max and 30 grain Berger bullets.

Thanks in advance,

Happy trails,,

Barry aka Jumper

Howdy all,

was at the local gun shop today and one of the new marlin 17hrm's followed me home. I love marlin rifles and just couldn't pass it up being the only one here. should be a fun little plinker.

I was wondering if any of you guys had any idea's on shortning the mags so they are flusd with the bottom, or nearly so?

I remember seeing a post on the ggvg board a while back about making it a 4 or 5 round mag , but can't seem to find the person who posted it yet. It seems easy , just wondering if there any tricks to making it work.

Thanks

Oh yeah , good article in PS there Jim ! I just finished reading it.

I've seen where some have used bluedot in 17 rem and 17 Mach4.
Can it be used in 17 AH?
Thanks
Paul

Im considering changing my 22h to 17AH on my Micro Medallion. What barrels should I look for to do this change. Any experience like the rem to cz swap. If anyone has done this with a new barrel or used what smith has a good reamer and experience with a Browning? Ive heard that Browning uses a glue or Loctite stuff to set the barrels and they can be hard to remove to the point of twisting the action. Any truth to this? Thx guys,,,
