Berger 17308?

[bbassi]

Hi All, I'm getting short on my supply of Berger 25gr .172 HPs. I noticed everywhere I look they are out of stock, usually with no back order. I hear they only run these once a year and I'm wondering roughly when that is? I'm down to about 1/2 a box and would like to stock up next time they are available.

So, what's new??
It's been like that for most everything the last 2-3 years.

Are you looking for the MEF bullet or the old target one? I've seen the MEF bullets the last few times I've been in a sportsmans warehouse.

Part # 17308. SW doesn't list the 17 on it's website that I can find.

Widener's shows the 17308's in stock, $46.00/200.

I think the 17407 is long discontinued.

They are old I'm sure. Which bullet is it, the target or varmint?

I also found a box of 17 cal 25gr hp Clint Starke RP 172 25 gr. WOOO, HOOOOO!!! Forgot I had these.
If my 17 Rem won't shoot these, then it probably won't shoot anything.

I was looking for the varmint and thanks to Ramos I have a couple year supply on the way from Widners. These bullets have proven to be real coyote killers, while not damaging fox pelts near as much as the Hornady 25gr HP.

Unless I just can't see them, it appears that #17308 (25 grain MEF) is the ONLY 17 caliber bullet left in the Berger lineup??

Berger seems to have pretty much abandoned the 17 caliber shooters.

And only (3) 20 caliber bullets: 35 grain, 40 grain and 55 grain.
