All dressed up and no place to go...
« on: June 07, 2013, 03:06:24 AM »
My .17 Hornet is on the way back from Oregunsmithing but I can't find ammo or brass anywhere.  I suppose I'll have to wait another year to shoot it...  :(

Tony, I don't shoot any 17s.  They're just too dinky for my old eyes and clumsy hands.  Someone here has to have some bullets and brass to loan you.  If I had them, they'd be on the way.  Hang in there, someone will be along to help.

I think i would pick some of the parent cases & neck them down, rather than wait another year.

.22 Hornet brass is not available either.  I can find .17 caliber bullets but not brass or ammo.  I suppose I'm just whining.  I have plenty of other guns to shoot.

My LGS has plenty of .22 Hornet brass... If you want to pay face value and actual shipping I can send you a 100/bag.
