Thread: .17 hornet, CFE blackout powder. Big speed increase.

I gave this powder a go, on a few loads today, very big improvement in speed over ADI 2207, (H4198)
Shot in a Cz American std 22' barrel. 20gr v-max. fitted with DPT moderator.
Current loads.
ADI 2207- 11,7g, WSR, hornardy 3220fps
12g " " 3325fps (case is full to top)
N120 10.5 " " 3315fps
factory hornardy ammo 3540fps.
Trailboss 2g " " sub sonic, (25gr bullet)

CFE Blackout, Hornardy brass and WSR primer. five shots of each.
20gr v-max.
12g - 3470fps
12.3g - 3566fps
12.6g - 3738fps
12.8g - 3779fps,
Sd spread was between 20-35 on all loads,

25gr hornardy hollow point,
11.2g for 3187fps.

All grouping about 6-10mm at 50m, or same as all other loads, Just finished, repriming and resizing brass, and have settled on a load, of 12.5gr, hopefully find a few rabbits to test on this week. Impressive performance increase,
