IMR 4198 in the 17 Remington

[brstevens]

Anyone load the 17 Remington with IMR 4198 and 25 gr bullets.

I had in the past and it seems like 4198 is a little on the fast side, and it not hard to get an overload. The new "go to' powder for the .17 Rem is Varget. My load was 25grs. with a 25 gr. bullet, however you should start out with less and work your way up.
