Who is reloading for the 17 Hornet and what are your personal recommendations on powder? I did some internet searching and found a few articles and some other forum info but I figured I start a fresh post here and get some info from you guys here that are reloading for it and get your info and experiences with this caliber.

Thanks.
 
I have experimented quite a bit with mine using 4198, AA2200, AA1680, and Lilgun (CZ 527 Varmint). It really likes AA2200 and a 25gr Berger Match Varmint. The same powder also works well for the 20 & 25gr Vmax. I have the velocity numbers around somewhere, I will see if I can dig those up. For me, the 2200 has been the fastest. As always, use this data with caution and double check with a reloading manual before use. Reduce and work up.

cartridge, powder, primer, bullet weight/type, powder charge, OAL

I have a lot more. PM if you are looking for something specific or with certain powders/bullet combos and I'll see what I've got.
