Not sure if I'm reading the chart right but it looks like a 15 grain bullet with WW296 at 3,723 fps???

That would be a fun load to shoot.

How is the down range retained velocity???

Sounds like Hotsh#t's preferred whitetail load even if it's not Blue Dot!!!

Yeah thats the upper reaches of the caliber. You can use Trailboss as well for fire-forming and plinking.

Although this is an old post, maybe it will catch the OP's attention...

is the 17 Squirrel a 22 Rem Jet necked down to 17 caliber?

I don't know why you guys don't go directly to me to ask. http://www.saubier.com/smallcaliber/17squirrel.pdf PS: I just checked with the Woodchuck Den and the FL set is $158 and the form dies are $155 and formed cases are $85/100.
