I've been waiting for this.
I'll take one in a CZ please.
I read 3650 with a 20 grain pill.
Very nice.

where did you guys see this? I haven't seen anything on hornady's site. I would think they would be joining forces with a firearms manufacturer?

The 17 Hornet is actually a very old wildcat right?

Terry Wieland has an article on this in the latest Rifle magazine. In it he states, "The new Hornady round is the blown-out K-Hornet necked down to .17, and loaded with a 20 gr bullet". The photograph shows a 5mm Remington, a .17 HMR, a .22 K-hornet and a new .17 hornet. The shoulder on the 17 looks to be pushed back in order to keep the same neck length, and the angle doesn't appear as sharp to my eye. I guess we'll see.....

I guess Ruger passed on it cause they're teaming with Salvage.

My understanding where that Savage and Ruger have signed up on it. Prototype rifles by Savage were alledgedly used to test the round. I'm personally interested in it, perhaps in a CZ527 or a Martini Cadet ... but I'll wait and see what specs are released then look at ordering a no-turn but tight necked reamer. Being able to fall back on factory ammunition is a major advantage.
Cheers...

Pete I think I will slash my wrists now..... Ingwe, wouldn't a barrel from Green Mountain for a 17 HMR be easily reamed out for the 17 Hornet and put on a Ruger 22 Hornet action? I've only fondled a Savage 25 once and thought it was chinzey to say the least... however one in a 22 Hornet with a switch barrel to a 17 Hornet, wouldn't be necessarily a bad thing... of course make the 22 Hornet a K Hornet...
