[yanta61]

Anyone else in love with this round? I've only had mine a little over 2 months and its my favorite round now... Ive been shooting 15.5 gr and just got some 20 grs... also plan on reloading up some 25 grs.

Looks like an awesome round that I literally just heard about yesterday. I think I want one as well!

I have the CZ 527 varmint and had it threaded so I can put my spectre II on it... My dad bought a Savage and it shoots lights out also

I've owned my 17 Ackley Hornet for over a dozen yrs and it is by far one of my top 2 favorite custom rifles . Zero recoil, stupid accurate, and 20 gr vmax's pushing 4K fps

PO Ackley created this cartridge in the 1950's , 22 Hornet necked down to 17 with a 40 degree shoulder angle. Very efficient and a blast to shoot

Hornady saw the demand based on how popular the 17 HMR was created the Hornady Hornet about 3-4 yrs ago.

my load : 12.0 grs N120 under a 20 gr Berger or Vmax = 3850 fps

Group was shot @ 100yards by my then 13yr old daughter.

Love this round!

[bollomb]

Man yall got me wanting one!!

[bollomb]

Is ammo pretty easy to get?

[eatmyfly]

it is now, I noticed that Carters Country started carrying it. Price has got back down to 16.99ish per 25, but that is online a Midway last time I bought some.

[yanta61]

Yeah I've found ammo here at our small local shops and cabelas had a bunch.

Is yours a varmint or regular barrel. What grain of bullet on that nice group?
