17 viper comes out of mothballs

[foxhunter]

picked up a couple boxes of berger 30 gr target bullets, decided to try them in the 17 viper.

i was looking for a load around 3600 fps as a good all round load for popping crows, the season opened today.
first load was with New H4198 sc, second is with 10x.

i'm so poor i couldn't find a dime to use for reference, had to use a penny.

bob,

i've always enjoyed your pics, do you mind sharing for the newcomers pics of the viper and other small 17 cal. cartridges you shoot. it has always amazed me the efficiency of the viper and the velocities obtained.

thx Blake
