Thanks Joe.
Does it have any load data for the 17grain bullet?
I've had to pretty much do some guessing but I'm getting there.
Trying Lovex DO63 (apparently same as AA1680) and 12.5 grains is...

Does the "17s" cover the HH?
Does anyone know what does cover the 17HH? Most start at 22 hornet. Even the ones that do cover it start at 20grain Vmax and I'm really liking the 17grain vmax both for...

Thanks TinMan. Next round of tests will have crimped/uncrimped. I'm betting no need for it with the neck sizing.

How do I neck size only? I'm guessing I'd black the case to see how far I'm going?

Thanks guys. As usual this is the place for real info.

I'm still fairly new to the reloading game and I only load 17 Hornet. It's the ideal round for the farms that I look after. Trouble is I load...

Thanks for the replies gents but how many of you have loaded the 17 grain Vmax? It's tiny and if you take off the length of the boat tail there isn't much left. I've read that the rule of thumb is...

Case/bullet grip!!

I suspect the answer to this question is suck it and see but here goes anyway.

I shoot 17HH and for economy I like the 17gr Vmax bullet as sold by Henry Krank. Thing is, the 17gr is a boat tail...

I'll have to put my hands up to this one Ken. With the primed "bargain" cases, I probably assumed they were OK.
I did take the pin out of one of the dies and did a FL on them to ensure they would...

I thought it was a scope reticle thing? Bullet Drop Compensator. I could be wrong.

Thanks guys. I've enjoyed learning from your replies.
I did the scratch thing and felt nothing so cut this one open. Again, no evidence of a split.

Frustratingly there's no data out there for the 17gr bullet, either from the powder manufacturers or even the reloading manuals. If the 17 cal is even mentioned it usually starts with the 17 Rem.

Hi Hutch.

They label them as soft points but they're not. They're Vmax (I'm told) with a ballistic tip and a boat tail.

Fairly new to this reloading lark so I apologise if this is a stupid question.
In an effort to find a quiet/accurate load for my 17HH I fired these four loaded with 2.4gr of Trail Boss. Since...

Nice one Bill. I guess most shooting folks will find a way to get it done. I will add that because mine fits inside to the start of the shoulder so no chance of powder sticking to the neck.
