Hey all
I ordered me a CZ 527 Varmint yesterday in .17 Hornet. Ordered me 250 rounds of Hornady ammo, and set of dies, shell holders for my Rock Chucker and my Lee Autoprime. After I start shooting some of that ammo up I will want to reload it. So I was just wondering what loads any of you personally have found to work well. These do not have to be sizzling hot loads as I have a .17 Remington for speed if I need it. I just want something adaquate for up to 300 yards ground squirrels and maybe a trip to the prairie dog fields once or twice.
I have found some loads online but like to try those that have worked for my friends here on PM too. This is a brand new caliber for me to load (1st time in many years) so I'm hoping for a winner right of the bat.
