Anyone have a good powder/ primer combination for 25 grain. I use VV N-133 in my 6ppc and was thinking of trying it in the 17 fireball.
any suggestions?

I like IMR 8208 in the 17 Fireball pushing 20gr Noslers for PD's. Wanted to run 25gr bullets for coyotes but didn't want to use up the 8208 so I used H335 and it works very well lit with CCI 450. Didn't try the 8208 on the 25 grainers but it likely would work well there too.
 
I'm using H4198 with 20 grain V Max. Would be very curious how your 133 would work. Burn rate appears to be close to H335, faster than 8208 (which I've heard good things about in the 17 Fireball), and slower burn than the H4198. Please let us know if you try it.
 
IMR 8208 works great with 20gr & 25gr VMAX’s, 20gr Dogtowns and the Hornady 25gr HP (now discontinued…:-( ) in my Rem 700.
