17-222 Load Data
Guys,
I need some load data for the 17-222. Please indulge my request...I have put in the time. I promise I am not being lazy and have done multiple searches and viewed previous posts/threads as I can find them. Before anyone gets irritate and suggests I do a "search" or look under the Load Data section I have the following "Diplomatic" comments: 1) I attempted a Search using "17-222" of entire Saubier forum results in "Sorry - no matches..." ??? How/Why - I don't know why this doesn't work since I have written some of them, recently. 2) I have viewed all 78 pages of threads under the Load Data section. 3) I have now viewed 350 pages of the 1,017 pages of threads under the "Small Caliber Discussion" section. Only 676 more pages representing approximately +17,000 threads. I skimming titles for key terms. 4) I have reviewed everything that search shows on Accurate Shooter forum. 5) I have Googled It and reviewed other sources of info on the web. 6) Reviewed wildcat books including the venerable "Sensational Seventeens". Please Help save my Vision. A last Big GunHo Push for a splendid 17-222 cartridge!!!! Thank You in advance. Last edited by Oso Polaris; 06-29-2021 at 08:20 PM. |

I am interested in load recipes for both 20gr and 25gr bullets. Almost all of the load data that I have found is based on the 25gr bullet. I have found more load date on 30gr bullets then the 20gr bullets, which seems backwards. I would like to find some starting loads for the 20gr Vmax. Powders are being used in 17 cals. that aren't listed on Powder Manufacturer's sites.
The common advise is compare load data for 17 Fireball and 17 Remington, and start at max of 17FB and work up slowly. The other common advise is to start with 17 Remington load and reduce powder charge by 2 gr. These are some of the load data that I found in my searches: 20gr Bullets H335 20.5gr Varget 22.0gr 8208XBR 21.0gr 25gr Bullets H335 20.0gr - 21.0gr TAC 21.0gr - 23.0gr H4198 15.5gr (mild) H4895 19.5gr - 20.5gr N133 18.5gr - 19.2gr 8208XBR [?????] CFE223 [?????] Last edited by Oso Polaris; 06-29-2021 at 10:10 PM. |

For 17 Remington/25 grain bullets:
19+ grains of IMR4198........... Start at 18 grains and work up. EDIT: Whoops.....!!! I meant to say reduce accordingly for 17-222 case. It's what I (and you) get for trying to post on the run with a cell phone..... My bad. -BCB

Can't remember where I got this load info but I've been using 22.2 gr VV140 with 25gr VMax. Been using this load since having it built. Great round if you like to watch furry critters fly about.

Hi mate
