Hornady 25gr 17cal.....
Anyone use this out of a 17 rem?
I'm pretty much out of Berger match 17s and these things shot pretty well today. Any fur reports with them? They have a smaller hole than the Berger darn near. |

They should work just fine for you. Good coyote bullet. I think the jackets are a little bit tougher than the J4 jackets on the bergers but other than that they will give reliable performance at 17 rem velocities.

That's all I ever shot from my 17 Rem. 25gr HP's and max load of VV135. This give me small bug hole sized groups. This worked so well in my rifle I never tried the Bergers.

Both the old 25gr. HP and the newer 25gr. Vmax gave me bug holes in both the .17Rem. and the .17AH.
I moly'd some of the HP's and they shot perfectly, as before, as did plain and moly'd Vmaxs. for coyotes or wolves, I'd use the HP- bit tougher it seems. The 25gr. Hornady HP's were the only bullet I could get a triple on gophers with(3 with one shot). The Vmaxs worked for doubles, but if there was a 3rd in line (happens)- he'd not be touched. This only seemed to work with the .17AH - at 3,550 to 3,640fps depending on the powder and load. I could only get doubles with the Remington with Horn. HP's running over 4,000fps- no triples, although I did try.

Not a great bullet for red fox if head shot it will split between ears. Body shots will exit. The berger 25 grain varmint is better fox bullet.
