Almost an exact copy of my data...

680 was as consistent and accurate as M133 in my 17 AH. i think I chose 11.7 grains for standard.

For years I shot 680 in my 17AH then about 20yrs ago switched to 1680 for some unknown reason. From my recollection, 680 was just a little bit faster than 1680 and the numbers Johnly posted are pretty accurate, accurate enough to go by. Still have several #'s of 680 from the same lot. Winchester uses 680 in their factory 22H ammo (or did at the time I asked them) and were very forthcoming about telling me this. I mention lot # because they explained it had been discontinued for public sale because of difficulties with the coatings which caused variation from lot to lot. With factory ammo they just adjust the load accordingly. Anyway, 680 works just fine in 17H but if you have 1lb bottles with different lot #s, be aware that they may not all shoot exactly the same.
