Thread: HORNADY 17 HORNET

My first rifle that I learn't to shoot was a marlin 917 HMR and if thats anything to go by then your 17 hornet should be a dream,the only downside to 17 cal's is their very low BC and tendancy to be flung left right and centre with the slightest amount of breeze, what ranges are you intending to use it at?

For the amount of rabbits i have shot now with the 17HMR i dont think the wind affects the bullet that much. I am hoping to be able to shoot 250-300 meters if all gose well

I assume the 17 Hornet is a 17 Ackley hornet? If so it will save me a lot of messing about

I am not sure on 17 Ackley hornet if they are the same or not chect on the hornady web site and see what you thing they have got a bit of a run down on their and i havent got a 17 Ackley hornet case to see the differecents is.
