Just a quick update. I didn't remove the pressure pips in the forend of the stock but instead made a small plastic spacer out of an old plastic credit card for under the front stock screw. I then torqued the stock screws down to the correct torque with my new s/h torque screwdriver from the bay of evil. This free floats the barrel nicely without having to butcher the stock, something I didn't want to do in case removing these pips actually made things worse.

I tried her out yesterday, only at 50yds and she shot about 4" low initially, which suggests that the pips were exerting quite an upward pressure on the barrel. I shot two separate Groups, one with 3 and the other with 4 shots and got all holes touching with 25grn Berger Match HP's over 21grns of N133. As this is a definite improvement on my previous best groups at this range, I will try her out at 100yds before removing these pips permanently and hopefully I'll then have myself a genuine 1/2" rifle at 100yds.

Hi fellow 17 heads I settled on a DM80 from Dave mercer and no regrets at all, very light well made piece of kit and very effective moderation it is a little large but not too heavy dificult to see how you would better it.
I'm about to try the 25gn berger HP's in my17 fireball and will try around my 25 gn Vmax load 16.3 H4198 possibly need to tweak the AOL any one got any figures?

I reload my 17FB with 17.7 GRN Vit N133 and Federal Small Rifle Primers.

25 GRN Berger Target HP OAL 1.80

25 GRN Vmax OAL 1.83

The Bergers shoot fractionally better but not a lot in it and I think they are discontinued now anyway.

Rifle is a Sako A1 with a Pacnor tube and it is just Dynamite on Crows and Rabbits.

I have a predator 8 .17 cal specific mod that came with my fireball. It moderates well.
