17 ackley hornet

[swed6.5]

Hoping for some advice? I got my hands on some older now discuntiued winchester 680 powder, I think this might be a good powder to use IE it was free and unopened. I was told its similar to A1680,
My main question is some reccomended starting loads with 20gr. or 25 gr. Vmax, Thanks

Might try over at saubier.com, there are LOTS of 17AH users over there. Surely one of them has tried that powder.

Go ahead and use it. Almost the same as 1680.......I shot W680 for years with 20/23gr bullets and it's good stuff. Didn't ever chrono, but it was accurate.

***Winchester still makes 680 and uses it in factory ammunition, they just don't sell it to the public.
