I understand some places you have to use the lead free bullets. If you don't have to use the 15.5, I would avoid it. The initial velocities look impressive, but they slow down incredibly fast.

I ran your case volume in QL and since I'm a big fan of Hodgdon Extremes, I'd pick H4895. It doesn't list that bullet, but a 40gr Berger and 28.1 grains is 3622fps and 55K pressure....Doesn't look...

Well not related to cameras, but I'll throw this in here anyway. I believe the goal is seeing where your shots land and this does it differently.

Interesting. One pic of the bullet box shows '100', but up underneath the bullet description it says '20/box'. It also says 'box count 20' in the product description.

Is the current brass reworked from another case or is it made from scratch? I've got a CNC lathe and wondering if I could do some experimenting with my 591 that is sitting ammo-less.

If you do decide this is something worth experimenting with, there are other options for pellets than just the standard 'waisted' pellets. You can see on this page the 'piledriver', 'sniper magnum'...

A 32gr bullet at 2200 is the same muzzle performance of 22 WMR light bullet stuff. The skinnier 5mm bullet will give a better BC, but will it beat out a WSM?

I would like to have seen a Vmax type...

You're correct, those are the lengths. Those numbers are a bit short though. I've bedded 5 of my 527's and all 5 were longer than both of those.

I'd go with the 20HH as well, neck it up and shoot. All that is required is a simple (for me) die modification.

B23,

I fully understand the idea of using the 17HH bushing die while keeping the body the same, it makes perfect sense. I think going 'down' a size is possible, but a measurement I just took shows...

I've had this thought in my head as well, if they won't make a .20 WSM, make your own.

I have one and have no issues with .17 Hornet or any of the rimfire 17's. I also use it on .177 Cal pellets if that counts. I've encountered the 3900 fps 'wall' with my .204 though, which got me...

The brass from my 527V 17HH comes out looking like it's third trimester :D I'll have to do some measuring to see how bad it is.
