17AH, N-120 and 27 gr. Golds?
Got an inquiry about using this combo in a Bob Green Micro Hunter A-Bolt 17AH conversion. Has a 1/9 twist.
Anyone have any experience or ideas. Sure would help a new owner (not me, unfortunately) get his stuff together. Alex |

I have never used this bullet, but the N120 is like magic dust in my 17AH with 25's...or 20's. I only have a 10 twist, but think it would make little difference, in the performance of the powder, only the stabilization of the bullets.
Assuming the powder is new to him, with the varying, (from lot to lot), in the burn rate of N120, I would suggest he start low, and work up...those bullets should be the cat's meow! Larry

I would definitely be interested in seeing any responses to this thread. A friend of mine killed several coyotes with 25 gr bullets in his 17 AH. Don't know the load though. Precision shooting.

27 gr golds
Still trying to get teh 27 gr. golds to shoot out of my 17 AH microhunter. Tried them again today with no luck yet. Started with lilgun 9 to 10 gr., bullets are 3 to 5" apart on target and putting egg shape holes in paper.
Tried 10 gr. of n120 today with same results.Shooting 20 gr. vmaxes into dime size hole with no problems. Don't think it's an issue with gun. It is a 9 twist and I have not shot the 25 gr. vmax yet. Haven't shot any heavier bullets to compare to. |

Your gun may not like them. If you have any 25's try them.
I'm not sure what twist is required for 27's, but sounds like your's may not be fast enough, if it is turning them sideways. Larry
