Alberta CanuckAnd though I doubt there are any easily identifiable differences that might be significant, historically they are two different rounds...
The .17 Ackley Hornet was an "improved" (blown out and sharper shouldered) case developed by P.O. Ackley, while the "K" Hornet was an improved Hornet developed by Lyle Kilbourn (SP?).

ColoradoMattI'm sure you've heard, but Hornady had come out with a factory version of this concept called the 17 Hornet. Rifles are being made by savage and Ruger, with factory ammo by Hornady. You might want to consider this.
