Jackpot find 17 fireballWas

[Whiskey4]

I was making visits to different gun shops yesterday a visited a new one i had never been to an found 200 rds of new remington 17 fireball brass.. The bags were covered with dust so he had had them for quite awhile and each bag was marked at $19.00. 200 rds of new rem brass for $38.00.. Excellent !!!!!

Now i need some load data to start off with, Any imput would be appreciated...

I shoot 17 fireball..Love it..I have gotten best results with Remington 7 1/2 br primers.., I've tried CCI , CCI br, and federal match my groups were the smallest with Remington primers.
I shoot Hornady 25gr hp. Bullets and use IMR 8208 xbr powder
Work up a load and see if your gun responds to it..enjoy

Congrats on your brass find. The 17 fireball performs exceptionally well with Ramshot xterminator and or Accurate 2230 powder.

Mine loves Ramshot TAC and 30 grain Bergers, or H322 with 25 grain bullets. Thats a good score on the brass!

Rem 7 1/2 BR primers with benchmark not a bad combo at all.....

Sell me a bag ? I use 17+ gr. of H4198 with a cci400 and a berger 25gr.

17.5 grs of 4198 rem 7 1/2's and vmaxes do the trick for me.

Great score, that...

16 to 17 gr VV 133 with 25s and custom heavier bullets in my two 17FBs. Clean burning and good accuracy. Don't know what it is but I NEVER had any luck with Remington primers, all sizes in any rifle. Maybe they don't like VV powder? . BR4s and Fed match primers only. YMMV.
