17 Hornet

[PJS83]

I’m looking to reload 17 Hornet if my variantion goes through but not sure if it’s even viable, I’ve only found partial reloading dies but no Cutters ?

I reload 17 hornet, no more difficult that any other calibre.

Lee make loading dies.

You can buy brass or convert 22 hornet brass to 17 hornet if you feel the need and enjoy the effort to do so.

you will not regret getting a 17 hornet.

The 17 is just a necked down 22 hornet . There is no problems dies etc are available ( From the better dealers ) by mail order . You can even get none toxic bullets if you need to .
Less really common stuff , small dealers or none specific " rifle " dealers , you know an odd 243 , few rimfires and something weird they got in years ago but the customer never came back to pick it up !

I should get the variation no issue so I’ll hit up google again and get searching for the reloading bits

You could Rabbits shooting head on as it will make a mess with a 22 LR even . I have shot the 22 Hornet a long while on Rabbits , head shoot from the side of the head , it just smashes the head ( until you get over 250 yards ) or the back of the scull only if they stand up though you will save 50% for eating if the aim is good

Yer the rifle is stupidly accurate hit a couple in head neck not to bad .once a start reloading will be using 20 gr hollow points
Used the when a had the Annie 17 hmr
Hopefully pick the sound mod up the weekend bloody loud

just google .17 hornet load data, lil gun is good, but other powders also work.

Vit n110 8. 8.8 grains start low work way up
That for 20 grain bullet

 

[grandad of the woods]

I use lil gun and works great

 

[finbar]

My gun shop don’t stock it

 

[Bowland blades]

Lil gun is the best but i think it can no longer be sold in the UK " cancer risks " apparently ?

N110 or n120 I’ve read extensively that lil gun can spike very easy in a 17 h but can fill up to the next and load a bullet in with a 22h
