VV-N 135 24.1 grs.
Federal small rifle match primer
2.240" OAL
fireformed Lee collet neck sized cases
Velocity-4385 fps
groups 4's- 6's
Question- what Berger bullet would be a good canidate\for
further load developemnet??
as they are quite expensive and seemingly only availabel in lots of 200.
I am thinking 20 HPFB for crow, PD use
any advice would be appreciated as I am new to 17 Cal.

Berger makes 2 20gr bullets; their standard and Varmint which has a larger hollow point much like the Speer TNT.

Either should work nice.

i have used the 25.gr and have killed coyotes at 412 and 420 yds. they work great. better than any other.the 20s should work just as well. you need a good barrel. the jackets are thin and they come apart in a rough barrel.i have had this happen.
