Tika continental .17 Rem. My favorite rifle

Add a .20 caliber bullet to your inventory. The .204 Ruger is a great fur friendly round. Problem is most of the .204 ammunition are the plastic tips. No bueno. Just something to consider.

Fwi looked up black hole bullets and they look like they have some good stuff....kids a crappy sell deal.

Ok so no tip, hp....what a our velocity threshold? What about how much they hold together and act , jacket thickness boait tail vs flat base some form of coating ?

wolfie what twist is your barrel, you will need at least a 7 to stabilize much over 25 gr.

Going on ridge ! Mines a 1:9...might explain why it don't seem to like the 25gr Vmaxs too much

try Black hole bullets post falls Idaho. They make 25 grain and 30 grain. Looks like all they have in stock right now id 30 grain but they run 25 grain a couple times a year.give them a call (208) 691-8541.

will have to check em out.....down to 600 25 grain hp

if you can get them up around 3900 the 25 gr. should shoot better, IIRC mv for the 17 rem. 25 gr hp was 4020 fps

I'll have to try them as well.

I use a 17 Remington and a 17 Hornet for predators. I would like a hollow point or soft point in 25 grain with a boat tail.

Mine are 1/9 twist and shoot 30s great.

Fyi I emailed black hole bullets with some questions r
egarding shipping an dehat not and

That what I figured ridge thanks ! Yeah seem lol bullets no like the slow speeds lol

I bought a 9 twist shilen for shootin 30gr 17's


It does that well.

Yup, looked the twist rate on my Remington 700 in 17 Remington = 1:9 Shoots 25s and 30s better than I can now.

Being that the 17 fireball is based off of the 221 fireball, how hard is brass to come by?… i'm wondering if the 17 Remington would be a better option because the brass availability is endless

I don’t think I would bother getting a 17 fireball or even a 17 rem unless I could get 25 or 30 grain hollow points

Sending you a PM Wolfy.
