What primers are you using

[17remhunter]

I reload for a 17 Hornet, 17 Remington and the 6 mm Creedmoor. My Creedmoor cases are SRP. With the exception of the 17 Hornet which I use Fed 205 M i use Remington 7.5. Does anyone have experience using the Remington 7 1/2 ?

 

[AWS]

I think I've been using 7 1/2 since I ran out of Herter's, I putzed with CCI 450s but they didn't make any improvements so stuck with 7 1/2s

Fed GM small rifle. 22H and 218 Bee

Rem 7 1/2 the rest of my cartridges that take small rifle

Win LR for all my LR cartridges

Fed LR Mag when I was shooting the Rem 7mm Mag, 300 Win Mag and 358 Norma Mag. Mainly because I was living in Northern MN and we shot no matter what the temp.

 

[crapshoot]

Winchester's for everything because I have a buttload of them.

Im assuming you have shot in some pretty fringed Temperatures

i use 7½'s for all my match/hunting loads where SRP's are called for.

 

[WyoBull]

I use the Remington 7 1/2's exclusively in my 17 Rem rifles but for everything else I use Federal.

 

[crowslayer17]

I use the Remington 7½ primers in my 17 Rems also.

 

[spotstalkshoot]

Rem 7.5 in my 17rem and 204 ruger. My AR small rifle(20p and 223R) get the Fed AR match primers.

 

[deaddogwalkin]

i run 7.5's in all sr from 17fb to 6mmwoa in temps from -20 to 100+ without any issues. most are ar's and couple bolt guns

What powder are you using in your 17 Rem? Ive been using H4895. Ive used CFE 223 with great success but it was very temperature sensitive

 

[Badbrass]

In this day and age, whatever I have or can get.

 

[Utahcaller]

CCI BR2’s and BR4’s for the last 30+ years……

Utah caller. Does Utah have a limit on how may Bobcats you can take each season?

 

[Utahcaller]

Yes they do. You can get up to 6 permits for them each year.

4320, H322, and CFE223 with 25gr Hornady hp.

 

[17remhunter]

Im trying N135 and N540. I have great success with N555 in my 6 Creedmoor and N120 in my 17 Hornet

The only powder I have ever used in my 17 Rem's is 4320 along with Hornady 25 gr HP's. I probably have enough 4320 to last for years so I doubt I will be doing any load development on it in the near term.
H322 is interesting as I have used it for other varmint calibers over the years but not the 17 Rem.

Have you cronographed your load?

 

[WyoBull]

Have you cronographed your load?

Yes and from what I remember without looking at the data it was 4000 fps.
