so are you building it from a ruger 77/22 hornet
Yes its on a ruger 77/22
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.

Hi Grant I leave rabbits were they fall !!!That is only some of the collection of bang sticks that I have
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.
Anyone here reloading for this yet? What price are you reloading for?
What factory rifles are chambered in this calibre now?
Hi Have loaded over 2000 rounds now dies brass ammo projectiles powder all here in stock
How much did the Zigliani suppressor cost you? Happy with the performance?
im using the original ackley .17 hornet love it too
