17 Hornet
« on: March 20, 2011, 08:08:26 PM »
will an old frame hold up tp a 17 hornet? I have an old[ pre 86 topper] frame and a 410 barrel that needs to be stubbed. I have an old topper in 22 hornet but do youall think Id be safe going to a 17?  I did a 9mm stub for my son and it went great! used a 223 ejector. I may want to convert it to an extractor as it sends them into the next county. just trying to decide what to do with this one. its either that or a 44 40 for a cowboy shooter . DR

22 Hornet has SAAMI MAP of 43kcup, tops loads for the 17 Ackley Hornet run 46kcup according to Hodgdon data.
