150-200 yards away or so.
I use sub sonic loads in my 17HH for squirrel hunting deep in the woods, I would never even think about shooting in my yard as you must be 500ft from any house besides your own to discharge a firearm. |

Still not shooting and rely bored so played in the loading room (old shed in the garden ) took an un-fireformed Winchester cased 17 A/H round filled it to the base of the bullet it took 3.5gr of Traiboss 70% of that would be 2.45grs
Also took a used fireformed and re-sized Win case it took 4 grs of Trailboss and 70% of that would be 2.8grs of Trailboss As soon as i can i will load a few of both unformed and formed cases with their 70% loads and using a 20gr V/Max try them to see what i get I cant use 25gr V/Max in my 1 in 10 twist it groups like a shotgun but i had good accuracy with a 25gr Berger H/P,s but at 3.100ft/sec so dont know what they will do at approaching sub speeds but time will tell i will also try some lighter loads you lads seem to do ok with them i thought that the 70% of case capacity was the min but it seems not to be so if i cant get a sub load then a 22lr standard load will be OK at around 1,250ft/sec it will be a lot quieter than my 17A/H at 3,600ft/sec the 1,700ft/sec of my first attempt was a darn site quieter than that and quieter than the 17 HMR |

Wally,
I'd be wary of going less than 70%. As you know, it's as easy to get too big a bang with too little powder, as it is to get too big a bang with too much powder. Leave the risk taking to me. Ken.

Tilleyman,
As things are now we can go into a shop and buy a moderator for an air rifle no questions asked, you can then use it on a RF, but, not legally. All mods. for anything other than air weapons are classed as a Firearm. As you stated, the regs. Are being relaxed so moderators will no longer be a Firearm, or, even part of one. At the moment we can only buy none expanding bullets (I.e. Anything with Target in the description) by mail order. That is changing so expanding bullets will go from section 5, back to section 1, from whence they originally came. Some common sense coming into play. Ken.

Thank you all again for your advice i will take note of all of it even if i dont take action on it
still concerned that some take the 70% of case capacity as the min but others go way below it ????? Still not decided what to do |

Call Hodgdon, ask to talk to a guy named Mike concerning technical questions. He developed Trailboss.

32gr NOE
CT,
Is there any chance you have perhaps a handful of those 32gr NOE that I could pry from your grasp? Expansion at 1000fps in dry sand is pretty fair. Hutch |
