Default CZ527 Varmint, 17Hornet-pet loads?

Hey guys-haven't done any reloading in a long time, as my two main varmint guns both shoot factory ammo sub-MOA...and a busy day groundhog hunting represents about 8-10 shots taken. Most days honestly-half that. Incentive really wasn't there.

However, I also just bought a box of factory Hornady 20gr. 17 Hornet and well...maybe I should find some inspiration. lol

I know there are 17 Hornet shooters here, and CZ fans as well. Any of you care to share your best/pet load if you're running a 527 Varmint?

I did a little load testing a few years back but am having trouble finding my targets/notes. I DO remember 20gr Hornady V-Max being the best bullet, and I stocked-up a bit at the time. Have a decent selection of powder, and use CCI BR4 primers as a rule.

Appreciate anyone willing to chime-in. More than happy to report back on the results. Still lots of snow on the ground, but want to be ready when things dry up a bit.

Thanks guys!
