[QUOTE="stomp442, post: 1450117, member: 70571"] I just picked up a .17 Remington myself, an early 90's model 700. The only bullets I could find were the 20gr Vmaxes. I tried Varget, and H4895 with fairly lack luster results. Picked up a can of CFE223 and it was like flicking a switch. The rifle went from 2" groups to about 3/4" with just about every load I tried. I settled on the start load in the Hodgdon Manual 23 or 24 grains I can't remember off the top of my head but it shot the best with five shots holding under half an inch. I am not too concerned with velocity in this cartridge as the start load is still pushing 3800fps and all I use it for is exploding rabbits which it does very well. [/QUOTE]
