OK, all this talk about the 17 maggie has got me wanting to try a reduced load in the 17 Mach IV. Anybody have one? I assume that Blue Dot will work, as in the 223? Looking for about 2500 fps, maybe less........

I shoot 11.6g of bluedot with all 3 bullets the 20g, 25g, and 30g of your choice. I also shoot 10.6g of bluedot with all 3 bullets of your choice. A guy could also try 9g BD, 8g BD, 7g BD, and that should cover the full spectrum. I am not interested in these 17 rimfires because I can duplicate everything they bring to the table in my two 17M4's using these bluedot loads. Please do not get all fired up now you 17 rimfire fans, but this is my way of keeping my life and loading simple the KISS principle. Thanks.

I shot some more of the 9.5g BD loads today...You have me hooked!! I am real happy with this one, accuracy is great.

What about for a 17 rem? I would love to be able to load that rifle down to non vaporizing speed. how did you come up with starting charges for the 17m4? maby I will have to try fer the rem.

I have to , at 9.5 g per shot the powder will probably break down before I can use it all. : )

Thanks again for the info

I shot a few 8.0 loads with BD in the Mach IV yesterday. Pffttt. That was about it. Didn't chrono, but man what a light load. This was with some 20 gr. moly Bergers I had lying around. Will also try a few lighter.........
