    Howa 1500 .223

    so what 223 did you go back to (make,model) i was getting the 17 hornet as its been on the to do list for a good long time how do you rate the howa been looking at them and remington for another 223 or a 22-250 later

    i chose a 17 hornet over the rem because it moderates better than a hmr imo no where near the noise of the rem.10.2 grn of powder gets me 3580 fps with good accuracy. withoubt a doubt the 17 rem out guns it on every level but where do you stop ? so many things out gun the rem .2" drop out to 200 with my hornet and its for sub 300 yard rabbits . it will push way past 300 but wind reading gets interesting. barrel life will be much less on the rem i assume and is the one your looking at new ?

    hi nope not new i was kinda put off buying new as i took a big loss on a tikka t3x super varment with wild cat mod that i should have just kept and am waiting on fx impact mk2 FAC air in .25 so am after something to keep me going for the moment reloding realy love the reloading side of it all

     

  3. hi all

    whats the better option 17 hornet or the 17 remington i know there is around 1000fps more on the remington but i have a 17 rem local to me up for sale and they seem to be cheaper than the 17 hornets that seem to few and far between . i will be home loading what one is easyer to get brass for ? . also because the rem runs faster are you looking at shorter barrel life of is it no worth worrying  about . av got 17 hornet slot on ticket so if i go down the 17 rem road will have to send cert back in thats going back in anyway to get bigger cal back to( 223 or may go 22-250) when i decide what to go for

    cheers del
