tippmann, I have shot alot of different 17 though my ruger and tracker revolvers/ rilfes, and they have all shot well. The Vmax bullets seem to group a little better than the hollow points. Didn't seem to matter if it was cci federal or honadays. The only ones I havn't tried are the remingtons. So lately it has been what ever vmax bullets Ican find at the cheapest price that I have been picking up.

Buy 4-5 different ones and shoot them all in your rifle.

I believe that all the 17hrm ammo is loaded by hornady. At least that was the rumor a couple years ago. I like shooting CCI myself, whether its in my 22 or 17. But i have federal, hornady, and cci. Never tried the remington or winchester but they just charge more for nothin.

My savage 17HMR likes the federal 17 grainers.
