BTW SCORCH... FIL had loads for the 17 Remington that would make the bullets disapear before they got to the target... I still have a couple 17 Remingtons, his loading data, & a bunch of "Lucky Strike" cigarette "targets" with 17 caliber holes in them... I think I could match his best with the factory ammo I'm shooting out of the ( now) Fireball rifle ( of course the 17 caliber bullets should be better today, than they were 15 years ago )... & I'm sure his HOT loads didn't help the barrel life any... I expect the Fireball barrel will last much longer
