Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles Making 17 Ackley Hornet brass

There were guys over on Saubier.com doing this when the 17HH first came out. If you don't mind the shorter neck / OAL this should work fine. As I recall the factory ammo/fireforming loads did quit well in the accuracy department. if you believe what you read on the internet.

Personaly I would like to cross section the first 3 rounds fired in the 17AH chamber. just looking to verify where the stretching is taking place with the cross section. There has been a super Australian chap over on Saubier offering a lot of info on forming the 17 HH from 22 Hornet of various parent brand names. The cross-section examples he has offered has made it a pleasure to learn from his experience.

Highly likely you will be pleased with the 17 HH parent brass IMHO. keep us posted.
