Anybody running the 25gr variety using varget or rl 15? I just scored 300 25gr hornady HP from gunbroker at a pretty reasonable proce.

Looking for accuracy, velocity and powder charge, pics of groups are welcome. Hodgdon and alliant both show data for respective powder in the 17 rem but curious how they compare in the 17/223.


Im planning on using AR comp to start with, which is very close to varget and rl 15 but I do have some 8208 and benchmark on tap as well as h335(prob wont use it though) but I may be able to find others in town before my barrel shows up.

As usual, I will start low and work up. Im not looking to copy a given load, just for a baseline.

Thanks
 
I don't own one but if I did I would start with 22.5gr. of 8208 and work up. H414/W760 would work well along with H4895.
I use 8208 in my 17 Rem. using 25gr. bullets. 4320 is the other I use with that bullet weight. With 30gr. bullets I use H414/W760.

I hope that helps.

Thanks, I have been over at saubier all day!! lol. Ive not been having any luck with the search feature over there and have sifted through about 35-40 pages in the load data board but not coming up with much info that seems useful to me. Lots of 17rem data.

Its kind of looking like I should be ok to use start loads for 17rem but I just haven't found enough 17-223 info to get a decent idea.
 
Hodgdon has load data for 17-223 in their reloading center for the 25g Hornady HP.
