From another forum........not just me, see post below.

now the good news is that hornady is making wsm ammo, hornady / cci of course, and what better opportunity to capitalize on a market of 99% savage bmags. they have the answer.

when a shell ignites you have to consider the ignition rate. Winchesters wsm ignition predated savages bmag barrel. hornady's wont - they'll dominate the market. the ignition of the shell can be, how do I put this without a picture, multiphased or bimodal distributed. it happens so fast a bimodal ignition wont matter, except for that frequency. tingggg. their ammo will cancel out that standing wave. hornady is positioned to dominate the wsm market, until Winchester weighs their lost revenue against redevelopment of their wsm powder ignition rates.

its all a cleverly played game of chess. hornady/cci always had a solution, but to introduce it too early would shorten the grievances of Winchester customers. holding back a few yearly quarters on the solution ammo promotes deep brand recognition benefiting hornady, not just for the wsm but other calipers as well.

think about it. what company dominates 17 caliper rimfire ammo? hornady/cci with the hmr. they rule the 17 caliper research and development. check mate.


Not arguing your point but I have 3 different 17hmr's and they all shoot their best with Remington ammo, not Hornady.

I guess they are all different, my 17 Hmr (sorry Marlin) is a tack driver with Hornady and does not care for Remington or Winchester

lost my e-mail but from a earlier post I made on the 17 WSM

No, this is not Winchester ammo in a Hornady box. It is our ammunition.

Thank you,

Man I hope that's true. A little heavier bullet would be a nice addition to the 17wsm lineup

My bet is that with Hornady making .17 WSM the accuracy we get from our B-Mags will increase. Maybe not fix the problem 100% but will for sure be more consistent. I can not wait and hopefully it won't all get gobbled up and sold for 3x the price like the rest of the .17 WSM

Got to try some Am Eagle, but certainly not bellyaching about performance of either the HB B-Mag or the new Franklin Arms AR type rifle with the Winchester stash.

Put a Boyd stock on the HB B-Mag, and haven't touched a thing on the Franklin.
The AR hasn't "missed a lick", as in absolutely no glitches in operation so far.
I guess they didn't ship them, until they got it right!

Anyone in the Central Kalifornia area: BassPro in Manteca, CA has Win. and American Eagle 17 WSM in stock. Quite a few boxes of Win. but only a few A.E.

I've just shot two mags of the AE 20 gain and the winchester both in 20 grain. My result are much the same as irish's maybe a couple more flyers with the winchester but no noticeable change.

I'll take the time to say that at 100 yards I'm still hitting in side a 3 inch box of the "shoot 'n see" target almost all the time. One group less than 3/8 of a inch! Maybe you are a better shot than I, but I find this pretty damm good for me. Today here ( buffalo ny) is cold snowy and lite winds. I'm sure that on a quiet sunny day this little rifle will be fine, and my shooting better.

i do like the 17 WSM it good to see other companies make this ammo too, more and different style of rifles are always welcome

Anyone hear anything out of hornady? I figured since spring is here the ammo can't be far away now.
