Thread: new caliber

17 Hornady Hornet is the new commercial round based off the wildcat 17 Ackley Hornet which is a 22 hornet necked down to 17 cal. Will hold around 10-12 grns of powder with a 20 grain v-max/z-max doing around 3700 fps. As Claw said, you should easily get 10+ loads with your brass. N120 is one of the top contenders for the 17AH so I imagine it will be great for the 17 HH also. Sits between the 17HMR and 223. Great little round for those 200yd shots as it is way more certain than the HMR and very economical to shoot. 1kg of powder goes a long way! Rumour has it Anschutz are bringing out a model shortly so that will be sweet!
