bigdan too Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 just bought 175 rounds of .17 hornet from kent wool growers , it was all they had in stock. ive been waiting to pick up a savage model 25 laminated thumbhole stock .17 hornet for what at the moment, seems like 50 years !!! they had the ammo but no idea when the rifle will arrive !! aaagghh where are they ? whats the delay ? it seems like a daft way to launch a new product. does anyone else have one they are waiting for or actually have the mythical calibre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatzi Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 They are reportedly 'in country' which means screw cutting and proofing i presume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danpd Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 .17 Barrel arrived from Border today. Brass and dies in tomorrow, Anschutz .22 Hornet ready for rebirth to .17hornet. Might end up being the first non-wildcat semi custom one in the country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oly Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 What sort of money is the factory ammunition? And if it is significantly cheaper than other centrefire ammo will it be cheaper to reload?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatzi Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 A figure of £89 per hundred has been quoted but it will doubtless be cheaper to reload as most calibres are if you ignore a price for your time. 9-11gr of powder per case is delightfully frugal.

Alycidon Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Brass does also not seem to be available. Found this on a US site: http://cz-usa.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/cz-527-in-17-hornet-available-jan-2013.html This suggests that a CZ527 in 17H will be here next spring.

I am just having my 17AH rechambered to something similar to 17HH, among other things it might then feed. Would have preferred to use Hornady brass but had to settle for Winnie in the end.
