17 Pee Wee

[barm]

Hello All,

I won a rifle at auction recently and it is a CZ 527 chambered in 17 Pee Wee. Do any have a rifle chambered in this cartridge? Do you have any favorite loads for it as well? Thanks.

I built one 20 years ago dont remember the load made my own brass but I had to turn necks really thin so I had my reamer turned into a 17 Badger.
I do remember I used AA1680 powder.

It came with reloading dies, some brass, and some loaded rounds. The paper with the loaded rounds lists AA1680 as the powder used.

I tried the faster pistol powders like 296 and 2400 was to volatile for my liking.

Quickload predicts the best velocities with AA 1680 and AA 5744.
