Well, Ok....here's what I did!!!.....I ordered 2 boxes of Hornady Factory ammo (I NEVER order factory ammo) for the .17 Hornet 'cause Midway had 'em in stock, then I also ordered the dies for the 17 Hornet, 'cause Midway had 'em in stock, then I just ordered another 50 pieces of brass on backorder for the .17 Hornet while I was at it.

So....I'll have all the "stuff" for a gun that doesn't exist yet!!!

It's an illness.

Don't feel too bad. I have all of that and a scope and Bi-Pods. All I need now is a sling. O Yah! I need the gun. Come on Savage. Mark

Well Mark......if they don't release the rifle, I'll either be forced to buy a CZ......or return my 17 Hornet dies....and fireform my brass into the 22 Hornet. One way or another....I'll have a rifle named after a flying stinging bug!!!

I have ammo dies and cases, Now where are the rifles? They have been advertised in several magazines so we know there have been some made and tested. Sure not much news out of Savage, some one should have some idea when they will be available.weewilly

So at this point you can almost make your own 17 hornet as the ammo, dies, cases are all there.......now if they just had a chamber reamer.....lol

Well.....almost....I sent an email to Hornady last week asking them when they were going to release some reloading data for the 17 Hornet. I haven't got an answer yet. (No surprise!!!!)

The chamber reamer is available and you can get started reloading by reducing the 17AH loads and working up. Mark

Load data is available. A1680 looks to be the powder of choice.
