It will be for fox and bobcats and i will try it on a yote and see if its not to small.I will try 25 berger first and see how they do.

After months of loading my contender in 17 ah with match grade machine barrel settled on this:20 grn hornady v-max with 12.5 grns of aa 1680 with cci 500 pistol primers. If i try to go past this the groups open up and if i use rifle primers the are very irratic. 12 grains of powder doesnt need the fire of a rifle primer.My groups settled into 5 shot 100 yd. off sand bags at 1/4 in.Its ironic that this is also one of todd kindlers best loads.
