    I know that alliant 2400 was developed for the .22 hornet and some people are using it for .223

    I don't load for 17, but Ramshot TAC is popular for .223... I use it and works fine with 55 and 69 gn bullets.

    TAC and Reloder15 have both given great results in my rifles. Somewhere around the 24-24.5gn (R15) charge with a 77gn bullet and it's sweet.
    Good deals with: Muskett, Dreben, roger.kerry, TALL, Helidave1, Chelseablue, Leeroy7031, Mousemann, pnuk, Practical, NEWFI, HOOGS, Webb22, lazybones1416 and deanw5262 among others. Thanks Guys.

    I've had good results in my savage axis .223 with Ramshot exterminator for 55gn and 69gn bullets and even good results with Vhit n140 with the 69gn SMKs.

    Have Fun
