Quentin, where can you get the 17 Hornady Hornet ammo for $35 a box, also what price for a set of dies? I have a 465 that needs rebarreling and some other work and have been tossing up between the 17 Hornady Hornet or the 17 Ackley Hornet.

Also just to let you know the 17 Hornady is different to the 17 Ackley improved.......Kiwi

Hi Ammo is in stock here and dies will also be in stock here on friday and more brass towards late may

I have a Cooper Varmint Extreme in 17 Ackley Hornet. Shoots a 20 grn V-Max at 3750 ft sec. Uses 11 grains of N120 so very economical to reload. A sweet little round. Sits between the 17HMR and say a 223. It wont blow rabbits to bits like the bigger rounds but exceptional performance for those 200 m shots with a bit more get up and go over the 17HMR. No recoil so you can spot your own shots. Anybody who goes with the new 17 HH will love it!!! I only hope Anschutz bring out a model as a repeater would be wicked (the Cooper is a single shot)!

Kiwi, check that the 17 hornady will work in the 465 magazine before yo commit to it. i read some discussion where it is a bit tight and the newer 537 are the ones you want to use forthe conversion? How would the rear locking anschutz's in .22h work for this round?

I'm guessing that is Bryce's old rifle.......if it is it has some very nice wood........Kiwi

I used to have a 17 AI Hornet. It will push the 20h vm at 3800-3900 fps, so its whole different ball game to the 17 hmr!

Looks like the 17 Hornardy hornet has 30 deg shoulder and they have reduced the case lenght compared ot hte 22 hornet. Dont rember having to trim the 17 AI hornet. If only Ruger made a left hand 77/22.....

That's the one kiwi. Really should get my act together and post a few photos...
