I am looking for some starting loads for a 17ccm with a 20 grain vmax. I have loads for 1680. Any other powder choices?

I have been using a reject 17 gr V-Max and Ramshot Enforcer in my 17 CCM with awesome results. I wish the V-Max was made available for everyone with a 17 CCM because it is a match made in heaven!

I can't find the hard copies right now of my load data but before the 17/17s I know that I had messed with #9, Lilgun, Enforcer, 296, H-110, 1680, IMR 4227 and N-120. I have a can of 680 but never got around to it...

Off of my poor memory it seems like 1680 was a good load with the 20s and for some reason I do not remember how enforcer worked with the 20 gr bullets but it seemed to me like it was easier to expand the pockets with any powder and the 20 gr v-max than this awesome load I am shooting now which runs over 3400 fps....

Sorry I am not much help at the moment and have been tied up with many other activities but as soon as it lets up I will look for that load data.

BTW the H-110 and 15 gr Berger loads was my go to load before the 17/17s

Where are you getting 17 gr vmax bullets?

Well first there must have been a bulk released to a wholesaler and they made there way back to good ole NE. Then one day by a streak of luck I stopped in at Hornady and found a few boxes on the reject shelf.... I shared as many as I could afford too and kept the rest to load up 800 rounds in my 17 CCM.... at one time Hornady was looking at boxing them up, hoping they still will...

Black Hole Bullets makes some 17 grainers which I have been very happy with.
