THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Would anybody out there happen to have one of these yet? I've been looking real hard at getting one of these but would like to hear some first hand reviews from actual owners If possible. Of course pics are always welcome. Thanks, Bravo |

It interests me but I haven't seen really any info on them yet.
You could buy one and do a review for us.  |

I looked into one of these awhile back. Reloading for the hornet is problematic so I dropped the idea.

I looked at one yesterday, its a fast round. I all ready have a .17HMR so it wasnt enough of a differance for me to get one. I think I will end up with a 22-250 instead.

someone somewhere was saying cooper will be chambering one. a little more expensive but well worth it. my bet is savage or ruger to be first out

The Hornet does the 20gr at 3650. Over 1000fps difference. Originally Posted By oneshotkyle:

I have a custom barreled browning a-bolt in 17 hornet, awesome little round!
loading dies are expensive, forming brass is time consuming, and you have to be very careful sizing fired brass. |

Don't have the Hornady but I've been shooting a custom 17 Hornet Ackley Improved for over 5 years. The only problem I've had has been getting Winchester 22 Hornet brass to reform. The Remington brass is too thin in the neck to work with the Redding dies I have. I've been able to push a Molly coated 20 V-Max to 3800 fps but the primer pockets were loose after 3 firings so I backed it down to 3650 and have been fine. Incidently it ONLY took a .3 grain reduction in powder to reduce velocity 150 fps. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION(weighing)all powder charges. I've REALLY enjoyed this rifle. Ruger M77/22H VBZ?

They are probably just waiting on ammo from hornady. ya man. its a cookin little round. but it is still pushing a relativly small round. I just wanted something a bit bigger. Like the 22-250. |
