Default 17 Rem powder

Anyone using Benchmark with 25 grain bullets in your 17 Rem?
I’ve always used 4320, but thinking of trying Benchmark.
Thanks

I played with it with some 25 gr vmax, but the 1/10 twist Shilen AR barrel doesn't like them. Just haven't tried it with other bullets, mostly because I already had loads for them.

I've used a bunch of W760 in 17 Rem with 25 gr bullets. My 1;10 Shilen barrel will tolerate 25gr Vmax about 0.7-0.8 MOA groups. The 25HP are half that.

I use BM in my 17 Rem with 25 gn Remy HP's. Shoots very well.
