.17 Remington (Hodgdon CFE 223 Data)

The .17 Remington, A Small-Caliber Centerfire Cartridge Introduced In 1971, Is Celebrated For Its Ultra-High Velocity, Flat Trajectory, And Suitability For Varmint Hunting. Its Design Was Based On A Necked-Down .223 Remington Case, Creating A Lightning-Fast Round Capable Of Speeds Exceeding 4,000 Feet Per Second With Light Bullets.

Hodgdon’s CFE 223 Powder, Originally Developed For Military Applications, Is Renowned For Its Copper Fouling Eraser Additive, Which Reduces Barrel Fouling And Enhances Cleaning Efficiency. When Paired With The .17 Remington, It Offers Consistent Pressures, Excellent Case Fill Ratios, And Predictable Ballistic Performance.

Utilizing Hodgdon’s CFE 223 In The .17 Remington Maximizes Muzzle Velocity While Maintaining Accuracy And Barrel Longevity. This Combination Is Particularly Effective For Shooters Engaged In Extended Sessions Where Barrel cleanliness And Uniform Shot Placement Are Critical.

The CFE 223’s Clean-Burning Nature And High Energy Output Make It A Strong Candidate For Reloaders Looking To Push The Performance Envelope Of This Classic High-Velocity Varmint Cartridge.
