georgeldshort range p.dog loads
Using the 5.7FNH case, necked down to .17.
9.5gr AA1680, 20 gr V'max==3460fps.
Good pinpoint load out to 200 yards.
Have two rifles for this one.
A NEF: used a .17 HMR barrel before I was
offered a Cooper M-38 already made for it.
Bought that soon as. Both chambered alike.

AtkinsonI have an old beat up Rem bolt action in 5MM and its about perfect up to 200 yards, the only reason I keep it is because its incredibly accurate at dime size groups at 100...It was totally abused when I got it and still is, feeds most of the time and 0 blue and the stock was reshaped by a real gun buzzard and finished in 30wt. oil it seems, but its dry now and holds its zero...Has a 2x7 old Leupold that matches...but it seldom if ever misses a rock chuck,and has a hundred or two too its credit, and got two red fox and several badgers in the home place pasture and out my shop window in the last 40 years..
