US WAY COOL dudes do it with SSK Contender carbines or 14" factory barrels in the 17 Rem.! I have been following the 17 Hornet for a while now and have been actually thinking of having my low wall Hornet re-barreled. However I can call SSK and have a new 24" 17 Rem (have 800 cases) barrel for a little over $450. The one I have now is about worn out (21") and still shoots under an inch all day w/H414 and 25 gr Horns. I think I'll just get a new longer bbl. and load it down a bit w/a faster powder, SPS blems and shoot the cases I have. Comments?-Muddy
