My 17 Hornet Drew 1st Blood

[plinkin]

My 17 Hornet knows how to sting. This one was only 100 yards away. I am guessing because I forgot my range finder.









Sorry they are so hazy. My cellphone executed an amazing swan dive into a pan of antifreeze a week ago. It is only by the grace of God it is working at all.

No exit wound, just a bulge of jelly just not as big as when the 204 hits them. I want to try my 22H with the 35gr Vmax. Maybe tonight.

My preference is the 25gr. Berger's.

FWIW

So.....what your saying is you will need to begin reloading in another two or three weeks? :)

Well lets see, I have a couple HMR guns, a HM2 gun, 22 & 17 hornets a couple 22 mags and various other implements. Nope, no need to reload the way I am not shooting this year.

Yep I know. Last year I was working 60hrs / week and I still made time to get out there and blast them on a couple local farms. This year I lost my job and oddly enough I am so darned busy it was 2 months in between the 1st two I shot and this one. Then there is the crazy stupid rain we have been having. Today as I was driving back from St Marys I was looking at all the chucks out grazing and I am to tired and I think I have come down with step throat. *smirk*
