.17 Remington Load Sugestions?

[Powerstroke]

Does anyone have any good load recomendations for the .17 Remington?
I haven't shot this gun in years and have around 1500 or so Hornady 25grain hollow-points. Fur prices are up it sounds like, so may be a good time to dust it off.

I'm having a hard time on the Viht powders around here.
I e-mailed them and it will be a few more months until some of their powders are available.

POP--Thanks ! I have a couple cans of H335

I have two Remington model 700 (a CDL and a light varmit) and both seem to shoot fairly tight groups with this load.

25 grain Hornady hollow point
24.5 grains IMR4320
CCI benchrest primers

+1 on the IMR4320, it is the classic .17 Rem powder.. I used Rem 7 1/2's primers in my loads..
