Very efficient and fun .17....12.5gr of AA1680 under a 20gr Vmax, leaving at ~3750fps does a number on crows, and PD's if you have them around.
Cases can initially be formed using seater and sizing die, then fireformed to final shape.

Lots of data and discussion at saubier.com forum.

Do you start with a 22 hornet and then rebarrel?

Current 17AH is a factory Cooper Mod 38; I did buy a CZ527 Hornet that will eventually be rebarreled to 17AH.

There is no such thing as a bad 17---some are just more fun than others!! I made my 17 Ack Hornet on an old Win 43. It is just too much fun. Its for sale now on GB as I want to get into the 14s.As the others said--h--l on crows!!

Aloha, Mark
