Hornady .17 Hornet

Been shooting varmints with two 17AH's for many years. Have two 17FB's too. They just aren't the same.

Call me crazy, but I think Hornady has missed the mark.

They produce a lovely 32gr V Max ... perfect for legitimising a 20AckleyHornet. They'd have the market sewn up for projectiles, brass, ammunition and dies in one hit. Release a lighter 20cal pill and they could create a niche for a shorter ranged 20cal with no competitor cartridge to worry about.

Those that shoot Calhoon's 19 Calhoon rave about the little 19cal.
Cheers...

Latest Rifle magazine has a article about this. Hornady is making ammo a 20 grain Vmax at 3650. Article states the test rifles were by Savage but does not list the model. Neither Hornady or Savage lists anything on their websites. Looking like the article might of jumped the gun a bit. Cannot wait to see what platform the cartridge is offered in.
