Hello,
Anyone try Ramshot X-terminator powder in a .17rem?

Ramshots website lists a few loads but velocity did not look very fast compared to my Hodgdon powder selection. If it's accurate I can live with the lower speed.

I was in Sportsman's warehouse Saturday and could not pass it up. Never tried it before. Mostly for my .223rem but thought it might do some good in the .17cal area.

Thanks, Larry

X-Terminator powder in a 14” contender barrel was a very accurate good shooting powder for me to be using back in 2001. Velocity was low but that was with all powders in that 14” barrel.

I would recommend Tac, I think it is much more suited for the size of the case and I also used Big Game with the 25 gr bullets but it was a compressed load and worked much better with the 30 gr bullets.

I still use X-Term in the 17 Mach IV with good success but Tac is my go too powder in the 17-222 and 17 Rem with 25 gr bullets
