I sometimes hunt coyotes with a .17 Remington and would sure like to buy bullets to reload that aren’t v-max. X2

So, if someone would start making these speciality bullets would there be alot of people wanting them ? Add a .20 caliber bullet to your inventory. The .204 Ruger is a great fur friendly round. Problem is most of the .204 ammunition are the plastic tips. No bueno. Just something to consider.

wolfie what twist is your barrel, you will need at least a 7 to stabilize much over 25 gr. Going on ridge ! Mines a 1:9...might explain why it don't seem to like the 25gr Vmaxs too much if you can get them up around 3900 the 25 gr. should shoot better, IIRC mv for the 17 rem. 25 gr hp was 4020 fps

Yup, looked the twist rate on my Remington 700 in 17 Remington = 1:9 Shoots 25s and 30s better than I can now.
