    Well guys I should have done something sooner but I would rather be out doing it than writing about it. so its finished and have used over 2000 rounds though it and I love it and have even shot a pig with the hornet and it was dead as with one well placed shot.

    I have a CZ American in .17 hornet that finaly arrived after 8 months of waiting, put the first few shots threw last week, looks ok, and am now selling/disposing the savage .17 hornet as its to unreliable, won't feed or eject, scope mounts off center, (trying for wty.)
    When I get back from holidays in NZ and hunting for the roar, I will start loading for it and give the gophers a good work out, if all is well, I plan on bringing it to NZ to replace the CZ HRM. The few loads I have done, I have found them little pills fiddly and are trying to buy a RCBS gold seater die as can load pojectial threw the side. Fun little round.
    45 south that's a nice little ruger.

    Hi I have found the Hornady seater to be the best as I have fat little fingers. I have been using H110 powder with about 9.2Grs and what ever primers I can get my hands on. the only thing that I am thinking of doing is to flute the barrel and a A-tec can for on the end of it. I had a far to smaller scope on it for a start but man it good now with a Z5 on it. the CZ will be a good gun too.
