New 17FB.

[CZ223]

Im putting together my 17 fireball next week, and am going to try 2230 with 20 and 25 grain bullets. Ill let you know what kind of velocity I'm getting, though my barrel is a 26" 9 twist.

My 26" 10tw and Vihtavuori N133 sends the 25 grain V-Max at 3950 fps and the 20's at 4100+. Both shoot consistent 1/2 MOA or less at 200 yards.

Downloading makes a very sweet shooting rifle.

For those of us who are not familiar with this concept, perhaps some explanation would be helpful.

Bill, I will let you know the results when I get to shoot something more active than paper.
Gonna load some of Chan's 30gr bullets with 8208 and see what they show over the chrono.
Thanks again for all replies,Ken.
