17 Remington and Trail Boss

[brstevens]

Has anyone tried Trail Boss in the 17 Remington?

[adammiddagh]

Have not tried it.

Quick load shows ok.
17 rem. 25gr vmax. Trail boss. 22" barrel. Not the fireball.
Should hold up to 8 gr.
34000psi. 2560 fps.

6gr. 23000psi. 2200 fps.

I expect that lighter bullets would be lower pressure, higher velocity.

Trail boss is fun to play with. You can do a case full on almost any load.

Yes this would be for the Standard 17 rem not the Fireball. Thanks for the data.

I bought an older rem 700 in 17 rem a few years ago.
It had 20 boxes of factory ammo and about the same in brass plus unused dies and a few hundred 25 gr tips.
Ive yet to shoot all the ammo at the crows that torment me across the road.
But I have killed a couple less than intelligent turkeys that didn't see me sneak out the door while they were busy.
But those velocity numbers don't sound right to me unless its a very light load.

Trailboss is a reduced load powder. Very bulky. Donut shapped flakes. Fast burning and fluffy. Only 9 oz fit in a normal 1lb bottle.
