.17 Remington range results

[444shooter]

Took my M700 out to the range today to test out some loads and looking very promising. Was using 20gr V-Max over 25grs Varget.
Never got a chance to chrono them yet, but I estimate about 4200fps. Just measured the group - .208"

Thats a nice group!...never tried Varget in mine, have had about the same luck with IMR 4198.
My 17 is built on a 788 action, they do work great on coyotes...

Look out yotes ! nice group is this the new 17 fire ball or the 17 REm . Ive always thought about buying one keep us informed on performance.

I was just looking at one myself...man, they can shoot!

It's the 17 Rem. My bullets are coated with Tungsten Disulfide. I hope to get out after some gophers this year and test her out.

You sure did!
That little sucker can shoot. Umm..how do you remove the bolt? Since the canjar is there, I can't seem to find the bolt release.

Yes, same load.The only difference was I used Federal match primers. Couldn't find any R-P.

There's a little metal tab on the action, at very back, on the left hand side - about where the bolt release is on a Mauser. You'll need a screwdriver to push it down
