So dies , barrels and upper parts are all on the way , every thing else is just gonna be converted from my existing.223/5.56 stuff.
Need bullets though, what's eveyone favorite.17 cal bullets ? Seem the 25gr Vmax is a good one

What I shoot is no longer made. I shoot Remington 25 gr HP's out of my 17 Rem. I bought them by the thousand and have enough to last me. 3993 fps out of my rifle. I could push them harder, but on a good day I could shoot a touching group at 100 yards off a bench. .17 bullets are pretty close when they touch. I never shot any of the Vmax. I shot a fair amount of Hornady 25 gr HP too. One thing to keep in mind is the small diameter neck will build presser fast when increasing or decreasing powder charges.

.17 vmax are garbage for anything bigger then a coon in my opinion. Specially if pushed fast.
Your best bet is to find Hornady 25 hp.
Even they are getting hard to find. If you find some, buy LOTS!

20 grain Vmax is a real killer. Lights out on coyotes. 15 grain Berger is another favorite. No longer made.

Sorry buddy but that is 100% opposite from my experience?

In the 17 world, it's what you can find.







If you should find some....


And



If they shoot well for you....


Then go scour the internet and buy every one you can find.

Wolf, do a search for "custom 17 cal bullets" It brings up quite a bit of stuff.

Not much anymore Mark.
Kindler is out and Mr Nagel passed.

Black Hole bullets, I ordered some .20 cal from him.

Wolfie, what are you going to use it for ... paper, coyote, prairie dog?
What twist rate is the barrel?

All the .17 cal, great performing bullets (imo) aren't available anymore.

These guys make good bullets.

Paper crows , rabbits coon fox, coyote mabye idk just kinda wanna play around with that little bullets. See guys doing some wild stuff with the HMR and WSM so

I've heard , j know one of these guys I follow ( complete speed demon) loves them , then agin he's pushing them 5000+ fps and is evaporating most other stuff

Heard about these guys

One that kept coming up was these 30gr Texas golds but can't seem to find anywhere that sells them

No longer made.

Following. What handguard are you using? What brass are you using? What powders will you try?

I watched that last video you posted and if I shot a coyote and it ran like the one at 1:20 I would feel like something failed. Most the coyotes I shot with a 17 Rem went down and the only thing that moved was the tail spinning in a circle, if I made a decant hit. Very seldom would a coyote move from where it was when I shot. You will be amazed what a small fast bullet will do. Read up on P O Ackley shooting one. He shot pretty much everything in North America with a 17. I would hunt deer here with it if it was legal. I shot a caribou with my 17 rem when I lived in AK.

Gazorp lights outs! PO was great.

I don't know if you can find any of these but Berger makes a little .17 which has ok reviews.

Availability of quality J4 jackets has been the major issue with supplying the heaver (25+ grain) .17 projectiles.

I prefer a hp or sp over any of the available v-max bullets for put-down performance on fox and coyote. If I wanted to chase coyotes, I would use a trap and drag.
