.17 Remington Fireball (Western Powders LT-32)

Western Powders’ LT-32 powder brings another layer of precision to the already accurate .17 Remington Fireball. Originally designed to mimic the legendary T-322 used by benchrest champions, LT-32 offers an exceptionally consistent burn that suits the Fireball’s small-capacity case perfectly. The powder’s fine, spherical grain structure meters smoothly through powder measures, which is especially beneficial when working with the light powder charges typical of this cartridge.

When paired with 20- to 25-grain projectiles, LT-32 offers fast velocities, stable pressures, and minimal temperature sensitivity. Handloaders often find that this combination produces flat trajectories and surgical accuracy ideal for varmint and small game shooting. Recoil remains nearly negligible, allowing for quick follow-up shots and precise shot placement under field conditions.

One of the standout advantages of LT-32 in this chambering is its balance between speed and control. It burns cleanly and predictably, making it easier to maintain tight tolerances and repeatable performance across different lots. For shooters seeking consistent sub-MOA results with the .17 Remington Fireball, LT-32 is a standout choice.
