Pac-Nor takes .17 caliber barrels to as fast a 6 or 7 twist. With that in mind it might be a hoot to be able to swage some 35 or 40 grain .204 cal Bergers down to .172 and set em on top of a bunch a Ramshot "Big Game" or N540 in a .17X47L case. It'd be fun while it lasted .

Someone found a lot of 6 twist .172 barrels not long ago, some 37gr Berger's I can see a 17/250.

I'm a bit nervous to build a gun around the 37 berger. They don't have a good rep for staying together very well. I was talking to a buddy yesterday about it and he's got several fast twist 17's for the 37's. He thinks that the ideal twist should be round 7.25. I don't have any first hand experience with them.
Any chance I could buy a handful of the 37's to take a peek at? Aaron |

Don't think a 1 in 7 twist .17 would stand a chance of holding together at 4,000fps, some of the 20's will blow up at top speed out of a 1 in 9. Likely a solid of about 30gr and a 1 in 8 would be the ticket for a really big .17. I would rather go 5,000fps with a 25gr in a 10 or 11 twist. Larry

The Berger 17 cal 37 gr vld start coming apart in a 1-6 twist at around 3300 fps . Got the tee-shirt .I too thought it would be the ultimate long range coyote rifle
