You *really* need to learn to handload. There are only a couple of factory loads in this cal. and the Remington one uses a simple, low-tech hollow point bullet. Chances are very good that there isn't a factory load that your gun will like.
Reloading is your best option if you are going to do a lot of shooting since factory ammo is now $31.99 a box at Wholesale Sports.
Remington ammo is loaded with Hornady bullets; they stopped making their own bullets years ago. Hornady is the only major manufacturer that makes 17 bullets and they have 2 weights of V-Max ballistic tip bullets and a single hollow point, the next biggest would be Berger who makes excellent bullets in the largest weight selection. There may be more but the costs gets ridiculous with the really small specialized bullet manufacturers and if your rifle will shoot either of the one’s above accurately why bother.
