What about a 17 Remington, I've shot more yotes with that gun than all my other guns put together. Shoot them in the guts, pin hole going in and no exit.
Not bad. Mostly a big push. But I have had a bruised shoulder after a 60 rd. matchNice shoulder puncher??. Sold my 45-70 a few years back. Don't think I shot the 45-90. I'm guessing it has a nice punch???
Oh yeah, and a lot of smoke.Sounds like a blast! Pun intended
Will one chamber in another to fire form?Very, very similar…..not identical! Different shoulder design/angle! memtb
I hear your! Sometimes shooting spinning and swinging & other targets in the yard with a 22lr just makes the day!I love all my calibers/cartridges, and especially the one I'm shooting atm. From my 22 LR to my 30-378. What an awesome hobby/sport/passion to be involved in.
I have a 17 REM & havnt loaded for it much. Its a Remington 700 stainless synthetic. 22"What about a 17 Remington, I've shot more yotes with that gun than all my other guns put together. Shoot them in the guts, pin hole going in and no exit.

Thankyou btw
375 Weatherby ammunition is still availableI'm not certain. A search of the case dimensions may give the data you seek. I'm guessing that finding any cases (even the Weatherby) will be next to impossible.
Though, by far the easiest is to have a gunsmith convert your H&H into whichever cartridge you prefer and fire form the H&H case in whatever cartridge you prefer!
I'm not a fan of the Weatherby double radius shoulder….so I went AI!
I hope I understood what you were wanting and gave you a half-@$$'d proper answer! memtb

Although I shoot mainly in ELR now with 33XC and 375 Cheytac..& lastbyeare a 300 PRC & 30 Sherman Magnum.I think my favorite is the 6.5 PRC . Its a hard choice between it and the 7 PRC.I absolutely love the 378 Weatherby but for every day shooting the 243W & 6mmRem
What's yours?
I see you are looking for a good .17 Rem load... For most of my .17 Rem hunting days I used one load, it was based on, unfortunately, the old Remington 25gr HP that they used in their factory ammo which I found in my rifle to be an easy five shots sub 0.50 moa and better. When I measured out ascertaining the factory powder charge by weight, the powder was identical to VV N135 powder in texture, weighing 22.8grsI have a 17 REM & havnt loaded for it much.

Would you share your loads??
25 gr Hp's are a pain to find, I have lots of 20 grainers. I've only used 4320 so far, & have lots of varget,some 748

The velocity on my chronograph came out spot on with the factory velocity of 4040 fps.
Here's the load.

Good luck Cheers
Yes that's a shame, the 25gr bullet "Remington" was only made for the hand loader for a short time, I have the last 400 or so to a Canadian Army bubby a year ago, he passed away before ever using them, but his son is a reloader and shoots the .17 so they'll get used. You might keep checking around now and then someone has a box or two for sale on the web, as well as the Hornady and others... There is, in my opinion, a market for the .25gr bullet in the .17 cal community. I never did as well with the 20gr and 30gr bullets in the .17 Rem.
