Woodchuck Den Premium Match Grade 17 Caliber Boat-Tail Bullets

Over twelve years ago, we introduced our very first 17 caliber Woodchuck Den premium match grade boat-tail bullet with our 25-grain .050 long boat-tail design. After the first run of bullets, we tested
them out to 400 yards with amazing accuracy, and we hunted varmints with outstanding results. We soon added 21, 23, and 29-grain bullets with .050 long boat-tails as well.

Then we introduced our fantastic Gold line of boat-tails with a boat-tail length of .100 long. We
started with a 27 grain with a B.C. of .243 and then added the finest ultra high B.C. seventeen bullet in the industry with our 30-grain Gold. This bullet with its amazing B.C. of .270 soon proved to be one of the finest seventeen bullets for fox, coyotes, and wolves. It also is used for long-range summertime varmint hunting on woodchucks and prairie dogs when trying for those long 400 to 600 yard shots. Finally yet importantly, we added our newest a 25-grain Gold bullet to our lineup. This bullet is justabout all streamlined ogive and boat-tail, which raises the B.C. to .225! You need a very short chamber leade for this new 25 grain Gold bullet but it can turn a 17 Ackley Bee or 17 Mach IV into a sizzling long-range performers.

Using premium high B.C. match grade 17 caliber bullets coupled withvery high ballistic coefficients can
easily make the 17 calibers outperform the 22 and 6mm calibers in bullet drop and wind drift while doing it with substantially less recoil and noise! Talk about fun seeing a large old woodchuck get slammed over 400 yards away with a 30 grain Gold bullet on impact. There is also nothing like seeing a big coyote be totally upended and dead on arrival at long range when the 30-grain Gold strikes!

The entire 17 caliber Woodchuck Den line of bullets are handmade one at a time in the finest carbide dies in the industry and we use only premium J-4 jackets.

To simplify the barrel twist rate
on all The Woodchuck Den bullets, we recommend a 1/9 twist for all of the bullets from the 21 grain to the 30 grain Gold. If you are putting on a new barrel, I would choose a 1/9 twist for any 17 caliber today! You never know when you may want to try the 27 or 30 grain Gold bullets and the 1/9 twist will work very well with the lighter 21 to 25 grain bullets as well. The 1/9 twist also adds more RPM’s to the tiny bullets which helps increase killing power.

I also recommend having your gunsmith check the chamber leade on his 17-caliber finish reamers
because most of the reamers out there have excessively too long of throats to accommodate today’s streamlined bullets. You can make up a dummy round with the 17 caliber Woodchuck Den bullets seated where you would like them and have him check his finish reamer.
