I live here in Cali, and hunt fairly often in the preservation zone. I like my .17's but for now have switched to .20 VarTarg for the bigger bunnies (jacks) and am using the Nosler lead free bullets which are yielding spectacular results on the jacks and Yotes, with superb accuracy. I just found the .17's to be a bit weak for my preference. When out of state, I still use my .17's and they are still a favorite, but just not enough oomph in lead free for anything above squirrels and cotties.

Bridgeport, are those the 32gr lead free ballistic tips that you are using? If so I was curious what twist barrel you were using those in. I bought a couple of boxes of them, but they seem very long for the caliber, was thinking they might need a faster twist. Thanks, Drew |

What if you use regular bullets? Are there cops roaming the forest that accost you and cut open your ammo?

And if you have not heard yet, to show how crazy California politicians are, they have now passed law/s controlling plastic straws and the use of them in stores/shops. But dope is more legal to use and they even condone it and make money on marijane sales now. Bill K |

Thanks for the tip Bill. Never heard of this company before. Product looks good. Ordered 200 of the 18 grainers.

15.5 NTX 17 Caliber
Ran five of the Lehigh through the 17 Fire Ball this morning, with the same load as I use with my 20 grain Midsouth Varmint nightmares. They average 4130. The Lehighs averaged 4117. So not bad at all. And the grouping at 100 yards was right at 1/2to 3/4 inch. With POI slightly lower and left of my POI with the Midsouth bullets. So they will work, will load some more and see how they do further out and on some critters. Bill K ( Photo posted in my Album. The aim point of this target is the small hole in the top )

I e-mailed them too. Hopefully market pressure is sufficient to induce them to sell the 15.5 grain bullet.
