slooowww....
Gotta be thinking that's really too slow for the 17AH. I know guys that shoot 2200 and 1680 but nothing that slow. I'm interested as to what kind of speeds that will give you.

17 HH with 2400
Around 10 grains of 2400 is about or is max. I would say, what is your brass and rifle telling you ? No one can really tell you what is max in your rifle. If this load is shooting well and you are hitting those critters, as you say, then why push ? If you want to go further, I would try 1/2 of a tenth of grain more, very carefully.. Why blow a gun or rupture a case, just to see how far you can push it ? If the load you have now is accurate, then stay safe and sane. Bill K

17HH vs 17AH
FYI:
The reason chuck mentioned the 17AH in response to your question about the 17HH is that the two are nearly physically and ballistically twins. Any differences can be considered academic for the most part. For example I got my favorite 17AH load off of Hodgdon’s LD (Load Data) for the 17HH. My velocities are within a few fps of Hodgdon’s noted speeds. Larry P.S. Just in case you arn't familiar Hodgdon’s LD for 25 gr bullets is here. -> http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/data/rifle

Thanks for the advise lads how do i post pictures i can show you some off my results ?Also thanks so much for the advise , its not that i want to push it im just more into seeing how much wiggle room i have with the powder as its all i have for the time being as powder is very hard to get at the min.
I love this gun its so much fun shooting crows with it il , i also own a 6mill br and a remingtion r 15 both i cant shoot at the moment due to illness. |

I am assuming that you are refering to Aliant 2400 powder. Contrary to what has ben suggested it is much faster than AA 2200 and 1680, at least on all of the burn rate charts I have. In fact it is faster than IMR 4227 and Lil'Gun which Hodgon's Max is 9.3 and 8/9 grains respectivly. I am also assuming that you are using Hornady 17 HH brass. Loading this brass the same as a 17 AH, which could have more than a grain extra capacity depending on which 22 Hornet brass was used to form the case, is not a wise move. It is pretty hard to to get into trouble using 17 HH loads, as listed in the Hodgdon manual, but could be disasterous the other way around. |
