Cartridge History

.17 Remington Fireball (Berger Bullets Data)

The .17 Remington Fireball is a compact, high-velocity cartridge designed to deliver exceptional performance in the field, especially for varmint and small game hunting. Building off the efficient .221 Fireball case, it offers blistering speed with low recoil and minimal fouling — all in a package that is quieter and less punishing on barrels than larger-capacity counterparts.

Berger Bullets, known for their consistency and precision-engineered designs, offer load data tailored to maximize this cartridge’s potential. Their streamlined .17 caliber bullets provide excellent ballistic coefficients for the size, making them ideal for flat-shooting and minimal wind drift. Whether using lighter 20-grain projectiles or stepping up to slightly heavier match-grade offerings, Berger's data supports tight group performance and dependable terminal effect.

When paired with appropriate powders and primers, Berger’s offerings bring out the best in the .17 Remington Fireball — ideal for handloaders looking to squeeze accuracy and efficiency from every shot. It remains a top choice for those seeking surgical precision with a minimal footprint.
