Hornady .17 hornet

[tegater 789]

Just having a little read a out the new hornady .17 hornet.

 

What a cracking round that sounds like, trajectory of a .223 out to 300, 3600fps, less barrel wear and recoil than the .17 remmington! 20gr bullet.

 

For fox and long range corvids, that sounds like my kind of rifle.

 

Can't wait for some reviews of that one!

sounds ideal mate but is the reality the same not usually

Yes you may be right, but its worth a look at, and I love what they did coming out with the hmr.

 

After all if we didn't look at new calibres we would still all be on muskets.

seem to remember progress the 22lr the 22.250 the 243 and the 308,30.06 possibly the 270, been alot of other calibres inbetween but the old mainstays are still there. if im honest i hope what they say is correct as the market is missing exactly what there promising

We will see, but your first prediction may prove right.

 

One thing is for certain is that some will love it and others won't see the point of it.

 

Not sure whether it can be reloaded yet.

like most exotic calibres the market is crying out for a quiet accurate fox round. is this it who knows, only time will tell, the same as anything

[coldweld 65]

Yes it can be reloaded .

 

yes it uses less powder than the .17 rem and .17 fireball

 

Barrel wear ? proberbly less than the rem but about the same as fireball

 

Recoil well all three are not frightening are they.

 

Speed and energy ! Both much lower than the .17 rem and .17 fireball My fireball is pushing a 25gr pill at 3600 with a mild load.

 

Can't comment on any lazer like qualities as not shot the hornet .

See how long before CZ take it on.

most likely already have

[jamie g 17]

it will soon die away unless you reload. the killer over here is the price of factory ammo for it. gun shops over here really like to over charge for the ammo.

Just get yourself a .204 bud they are like a witches tit and hit like a train!

[ajaxinvincible 5]
