17 hmr, not much use?

[Lewdan 17]

If you reload, how about a Hornet? The more I see of them the more i like them, there is nothing cheaper to reload, easy to moderate and very effective.

The Hornet has cases like Eggshell, reloading is fiddly and needs .223 not .224 bullets, but apart from that it's an OK round, the .223 is much better though, still has small rifle primers but much more robust and easier to source cases (Lapua do .223) bullets etc. Also the hornet is hard to find in new rifles, I can only think of Anshutz at this time?

I chose the 22.250 because I've had one before and I know how good it is, that said if a .223 Ruger No1 had come up I would have had that as an alternative because I'd be happy with either.

sorry mate i think you are incorrect here all modern hornet rifles use the .224 bullet heads.
