I have pretty good luck with 1680 and 2200, but I'm shooting 20 grain V-max in my hornet.

Take a look on Saubier.com it's the place to look for sub caliber info. All kinds of information on the. 17 hornet.

+1 for above comments, and I have used H-322 with very good results.

AA 2200 and 25 V-Max has worked very well for me in my CZ. Sub 3/4" groups. I'm at 12.3gr and I believe 1.740" COL with a CCI 400 primer. This should be a good place to search for your 25 bergers.

I'm using W296 with 20 grain V-Max's in my .17 Hornet. Very accurate in my CZ Varmit. I would like to try 1680, but it's impossible to find any.
