We must be always aware that we are dealing with sub-calibres. They are a law unto themselves. Witness my old .17AB- 3,940fps with 25gr. HP's.
: My new one, using some old fireform loads from the old rifle, went 4,150fps instead of 3,800fps. They are to be respected for sure.
: Gives me the willies every time a new shooter, wants info on building a .17 wildcat or even worse, a .14 cal wildcat, and he isn't even a handloader, yet.
